Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the tomatoes:
- Wash and pat dry the cherry tomatoes. If any are larger, you can halve them to ensure they cook evenly.
Season the tomatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar (if using), oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Roast:
- Spread the tomatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and starting to burst, with caramelized edges. You can gently toss them halfway through the roasting time for even cooking.
Garnish and serve:
- Once roasted, remove the tomatoes from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves (if desired). Serve immediately as a side dish, or top them on salads, pastas, or toast.
