1tablespoonolive oil
3tablespoonshot honeyadjust to your spice preference
½cupmozzarella pearls
¼teaspoonfresh thymeoptional, but highly recommended!
Saltto taste
Black pepperfreshly ground, to taste
Optional: ½ small red onionthinly sliced (if you’d like to add a savory depth)
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick baking sheet for easy cleanup.
Toss & Season: In a medium bowl, combine the NatureSweet® Glorys® cherry tomatoes. Drizzle them with olive oil and hot honey. If using, add the thinly sliced red onion to the bowl. Toss gently to ensure all the tomatoes and onion are well coated.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Pour the tomato and onion mixture evenly onto your prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer so they can roast evenly.
Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them; the tomatoes are ready when they have softened and beautifully burst, releasing their juicy interiors.
Serve & Finish: Carefully pour the hot roasted tomatoes (and onions, if used) into a serving bowl. Immediately add the fresh mozzarella pearls. The residual heat from the tomatoes will slightly melt the cheese, making it wonderfully gooey. Sprinkle with fresh thyme (if using), and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!
