A little riff on a classic Italian salad, this roasted tomato Caprese salad is a perfect addition to any special occasion.
Roasted Tomato Caprese Salad
Ingredients
- 2 punnets cherry tomatoes or use a mix of cherry and cocktail varieties
- 2 drops garlic extract or 1 clove crushed garlic
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Flaky sea salt
- 1 ball burrata
- Fresh basil
- Country-style bread, brushed with oil, toasted in oven (for serving)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 175°C.
- Toss tomatoes, garlic, and oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat and season lightly with sea salt. Spread out and roast until tomatoes are bursting and lightly browned, approximately 20 minutes.
