Who wants to Caprese with me?❤️

I miss fresh garden tomatoes in the winter. But the next best thing is to roast them!  Roasting them totally concentrates, sweetens and deepens the flavor of the tomatoes!
The savory sweetness created during this quick cooking method elevates soups, sandwiches, antipastos, pizza, salads, just like this Caprese. Quite frankly the flavor is unmatched. Serving a roasted tomato caprese in the off season just makes everyone happy. 
** For this version I used a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut the mozzarella into heart shapes and formed it into a heart making  it a bit more festive but it’s certainly not necessary.  Drizzle with balsamic glaze and a drizzle of basil pesto to finish it off.

Preheat oven to 450F. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Cut tomatoes in half. Remove all the seed and extra moisture.  Drizzle with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and chopped garlic.  Roast for 30-35 minutes.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with basil or fresh thyme
