Cherry tomatoes are like sparkling rubies, the true gems of summer. Cherry tomatoes are so colorful, healthy and delicious that I'm guilty of overbuying (or over-growing) them. We can't possibly eat all these tomatoes, but they're too good to waste. 

That's why this easy roasted cherry tomatoes recipe is one of the best ways to use them. So quick and yummy, and they work well with pasta or bruschetta. See additional ideas for how to use them in Recipe Notes. You'll thank yourself in January for a burst of summer bounty.
