Roasted Grape Tomatoes Recipe
Chances are good that you’re either looking to preserve some tomatoes or roast winter tomatoes that just aren’t quite as good as summer tomatoes. And this roasted grape tomatoes recipe will help solve both of those problems in a delicious and easy way! They take just a few minutes to prep and are made with just a handful of pantry staples.
Once they’re done roasting, you can use them right away on ricotta toast, avocado toast, pasta, or pizza (more ideas on what to do with them below) or freeze them for later and enjoy summer flavors all fall and winter long.

Ingredients
These oven roasted cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes!) come together with just a few simple ingredients (mostly staples).
- Grape tomatoes – I’ve used grape tomatoes, but you can also use cherry tomatoes. I’ve also roasted halved roma tomatoes in the same way. Really any tomato will work, you’ll just want to cut larger ones in wedges so they can roast a bit.
- Olive oil – Use high quality olive oil for best flavor.
- Sea salt – Use flaky sea salt for best flavor, or regular sea salt if you prefer or that’s what you have.
- Black pepper – Use freshly cracked pepper for best flavor.
- Thyme – Fresh thyme adds great flavor, but you can also omit it if you don’t have it or don’t want to buy it. You can also use any other fresh herbs. Oregano is also delicious.
- Garlic – Optional, but another way to add some more savory flavor. Lightly smash clove, but keep it whole instead of mincing it as we don’t want the garlic to burn.

Can you freeze roasted grape tomatoes?
Yes, you can absolutely freeze roasted tomatoes and it’s a great way to preserve them for later. I like to put them in snack size baggies or souper cubes and freeze into small portions.
How to Use Oven-Roasted Grape Tomatoes
Once you’ve roasted your tomatoes, it’s time to use them! Here are some ideas:
- Roasted Tomato Bruschetta – Roughly chop the roasted grape tomatoes and serve over toasted crostini or baguette slices for a delicious appetizer.
- Pizza – Roughly chop and lightly drain and add over sauce or with other toppings.
- Pasta – Serve over cooked spaghetti, tortellini, or your favorite pasta and sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese.
- Tomato Sauces – Depending on the sauce, add whole or chopped tomatoes (any liquid as well as its flavor!) to tomato or pasta sauce.
- Dips and Spreads – Top snack spreads like hummus, tzatziki, whipped feta, greek yogurt, whipped cottage cheese, goat cheese, or ricotta cheese with roasted tomatoes and serve with crackers, pita, crostini, and veggies for scooping.
- Tomato Toast – Fresh tomato toast is great…but so is roasted! You can keep it as easy or complex as you want – add roasted tomatoes instead of fresh on my tomato toast recipe, ricotta toast, or keep it really simple and top toasted bread with tomatoes and a drizzle of good olive oil.
