Yum! Balsamic and garlic with tomatoes! I think the leftovers will also be wonderful in chicken salad or any salad! Thanks gailanng!

Tasty and easy recipe! It was a great way to use the surplus of grape tomatoes I had from my garden.

This is one great recipe.<br/>I followed the directions and used the oven method, using my own homegrown grape and cherry tomatoes.<br/>SO easy and such a great idea to use a foil tray ....No cleaning!!!!!<br/>Just simply throw the tray away... now that's my idea of a great recipe!<br/>We all loved this and the tomatoes are so sweet cooked this way. <br/>I will be making this again but trying the B.B.Q. next time.<br/>Thanls gailanng for posting this wonderful recipe.

Wow, these were really good!!! I've made roasted cherry tomatoes before, but the brown sugar makes these so much better! Made this tonight and served a pan seared sea bass over the bed of roasted tomatoes. YUMMY! A new favorite...

Quick, easy and YUMMY!!!!! A fantastic side dish, one I will use regularly! Bizarrely not lacking seasoning but will try next time just to see if the flavour improves. I used oregano but I imagine the tomatoes would work well with whatever herb suits the main dish. Thanks.
