We are harvesting several cups of cherry tomatoes every day. A couple of  Early Girls are ripening each day and it won’t be long before we pick our first Roma tomatoes. When we are over run with Early Girls and Romas, I make and can spaghetti sauce and salsa. I freeze a lot of our cherry tomatoes, but when I run out of room in the freezer, I broil them with fresh herbs and top them with cheese. Then I sit back and watch as my kids make a cookie sheet full of cherry tomatoes disappear.

This recipe is inspired by Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes.

A fast and easy recipe for broiled tomatoes.
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh basil, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh oregano, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme, minced
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ~1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)
Directions
  1. Set your oven heat to broil.
  2. While your oven is heating up, slice tomatoes in half and place on a baking sheet, cut side up.
  3. Mix oil and spices together in a small bowl. Brush each tomato with a dab of the mixture.
  4. Broil for 6 minutes.
  5. Remove and top each tomato with a bit of cheese. Broil for one more minute.
Notes
Most of the tomatoes disappear as soon as they come out of the oven, but leftovers can be refrigerated. The leftovers are good eaten cold or warmed for 10 seconds in the microwave.

    I'm definitely trying these! My cherry tomato plants have been very productive this year. I only have 3 container-grown plants so I don't have as many tomatoes as you do, but enough that I've been looking for a new way to serve them!

    I've been looking for a recipe to use up extra cherry tomatoes (but not from my garden! At least I have good friends with big gardens!)These look yummy!

    Looks amazing! I didn't plant any cherry tomatoes this year for some reason. But this recipe might be worth buying some at the Farmers Market just to try it!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
