Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Tomatoes: In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.
- Roast the Tomatoes: Spread the tomato mixture onto a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
- Toast the Bread: While the tomatoes are roasting, arrange the baguette slices on a separate baking sheet. Brush each side lightly with olive oil and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Assemble the Bruschetta: Once the tomatoes are ready, remove them from the oven and spoon the mixture generously onto each toasted baguette slice. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Serve: Enjoy your Vegan Roasted Tomato and Garlic Bruschetta fresh from the oven, ideally with a drizzle of balsamic reduction for an extra flavor boost.
