Easy Roasted Fresh Grape Tomatoes with Basil

What did the pizza say to the tomato?
Don't get saucy with me!


I am so excited about our garden this year.  The tomatoes and basil coming out of it has been absolutely f'in beautimous.

The rain let up for just a few minutes today and I was able to sneak out to harvest.  There is absolutely nothing better than fresh fruits and vegetables straight from the garden.  I think in the everyday hustle and bustle, a lot of Americans have lost sight of growing their own food.  Even if you just plant a couple of things, you are doing a world of wonderfullness for your body.

This is a quick recipe that packs some delicious taste.  Easy, easy, easy.

Here's what you need (the amounts are totally on you a 2 to 1 ratio of tomatoes to basil):
Cherry or grape tomatoes (preferably from your garden)
a handful or so of fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil



Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.  Wash your tomatoes and place in an oven safe baking dish.

Add fresh basil after giving it a quick wash (yes, this is all from our garden).

Add thick Kosher salt and pepper to taste, then, drizzle with 1-2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Toss to coat. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 

Use as a side dish, on pizza (like we did tonight), or whatever you feel like.  They taste great by themselves, but also love to party with others.
