Ingredients

12 oz. cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon warm bacon fat
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash tomatoes and pat them dry well.
Place the tomatoes on the sheet pan. Measure on the bacon fat. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes before shaking and rotating the pan. (This should help move the tomatoes on the surface, preventing sticking, as well as move them around to get more color on other sides.)
Roast for another 10 minutes, then shake and rotate again.
Broil for 1-2 minutes, then remove from the oven.
Enjoy warm alongside your favorite meals.

Notes

How to store: Let the tomatoes cool completely before transferring to a food safe storage dish and storing in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.

You can easily double or triple the recipe. Our family of four can take down this recipe in no time, so if you’re sharing this or using it as a part of a dish, make more!

Use the tomatoes you have on hand. We’ve used this recipe to roast cherry and grape tomatoes consistently, but it also works for larger tomato varieties, like beefsteaks and various heirloom varieties. Chop them into bite-sized pieces before tossing in the bacon fat and roasting.
