Oven Roasted Grape Tomatoes

Here is a great, easy, and often overlooked recipe for these yummy tomatoes. Serve them as a side dish or toss them with pasta for a fresh, light and tasty treat.

• 1 pint grape tomatoes
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove
• salt and pepper to taste

 Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss tomatoes with seasoning, olive oil, and garlic, if using; season with salt and pepper. Roast until tomatoes are very soft and skins have split, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with crackers or crostini (just a fancy word for butter-toasted bread)
