Ingredients
  • 2 pints of cherry tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons regular olive oil
  • 4-5 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 4 (8-oz.) balls of burrata
  • 1 tablespoon basil oil
  • Basil oil:
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place cherry tomatoes in a baking dish. Make sure they fit in a single layer. Next, add salt, pepper, crush garlic, regular olive oil and toss together.
  2. Roast the tomatoes for about 40-45 minutes until they start to split. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  3. While waiting for the tomatoes, add basil and extra virgin olive oil in a blender or food processor. Then, blend until combined. Set aside.
  4. Once the roasted tomatoes are cool down, arrange them on a plate, place burrata in the middle. You can serve them in a big plate family style or small plates and everyone gets their own burrata ball. Drizzle with the basil oil. Serve with grilled or toasted crusty bread.
Notes
The leftover basil oil is good for other dishes like grilled seafood, pasta or anything that can use basil.
