2 items

  • Stems-on small tomatoes 4 lbs
  • Basil 2 tbl

Method

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place the tomatoes still on the vines (plus any that fall off the vines) on a sheet pan. Rub or brush gently with olive oil and sprinkle generously with kosher salt and pepper.
  3. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the tomatoes are tender and a few start to split. Sprinkle with basil, if using, and salt and serve on the stem hot or warm, while gazing at the pan with pure, unreasonable devotion.
