Tips and Tricks:

• For an extra burst of flavor, try adding some minced garlic or sliced red onions to the pan before baking.
• If you prefer your cherry tomatoes on the softer side, increase the baking time by 5 minutes.
• Don't be afraid to get creative with your seasonings! This recipe is a great base for adding in your favorite herbs and spices such as Spiceology’s Greek Freak. Try adding some crushed red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat, or some chopped fresh rosemary for a woodsy, aromatic twist.
• This recipe is perfect for serving as a main dish or as a side dish. It pairs well with a variety of proteins, such as grilled chicken or seafood, and can also be a cherry tomato and feta pasta as a heartier meal.
