Tomatoes are so amazing right now. I’ve been obsessed with the cherry tomatoes that are a deep red in color and are so sweet when they burst in your mouth. Tomatoes are known for their antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory properties. They are also an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps to boost our immune system! I think it’s best to keep it simple when cooking with tomatoes when they are ripe and in season. 

So this recipe is pretty straightforward and simple, but incredibly delicious! You can enjoy the roasted tomatoes as an easy side dish, top them with goat cheese (my favorite) or top a slice of whole grain bread with them! Whatever you decide, you won’t be disappointed!
