I know I don’t want to!

Or sometimes, I have a main course meals that takes a long time to make and I just don’t have the energy to make a side dish or a topping.

That is where this recipe comes in.

Just take a few cherry tomatoes + grape tomatoes and quickly saute them on the oven with other ingredients that don’t require extra chopping, dicing, shredding or peeling.

For this recipe, I used what I like to call, “holiday ingredients”.  It has cinnamon and nutmeg which are holiday ingredients.  With that, I paired mint and honey to even out all the flavors.

The tomatoes also lose some of their acidic taste during this sauteing process.  Their skin turns a little caramel-ish and crunchy which is how I like my tomatoes

These cherry tomatoes are now my go-to topping idea.  I have used them on sandwiches, tofu recipes and so many other dishes.

I also have a delicious oven-roasted cherry tomatoes that I eat as a snack while working at my desk.  They make great sandwich toppers or even in orecchiette pasta

In fact, I have even eaten them right out of the bowl.  They tasted so good that it was worth the burnt tongue.  Overall, I was so glad I experimented with the flavors and came up with this recipe.

If you want to make this vegan, use pure maple syrup instead of honey.  I used about 3.5 tsp of pure maple syrup, but, you can adjust it to your taste.

This recipe makes me very happy and I can’t wait to try other recipes that I can use it as a topping.  I wonder how it will taste on top of a baked brie recipe?

    1. Thank you Susie. It is a common misconception that vegetarians eat fish and other seafood. That is not true at all. Vegetarians don’t eat any seafood or animals. Fish is considered seafood to vegetarians. Pescetarians, on the other hand, eat fish and other seafood. They don’t eat any other meats like Beef, Chicken, etc. “To each his own”, I always say.
