They'd been sitting on your counter for awhile: a lonely box of forgotten cherry tomatoes. Almost completely full, the container had been there for a bit too long and the tomatoes had a slightly shriveled, wilted look. They hadn't yet gone bad, but they weren't exactly good. What to do? Roasting to the rescue!
Roasted tomatoes perk up pasta, bruschetta, sautéed fish and rice - there's not much they can't do. Slice them quickly with this trick, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, flip on the oven, and you're on your way to a sweet treat. Use them straight from the oven or freeze for later use - and you'll never have to let a pint of cherry tomatoes go to waste again!

I got a recipe from a book I do not remember the name of for Slow-Roasted Tomatoes which is pretty much what you are talking about here. Thet are delicious the roasting really concentrates the flavor. We roasted quite a bit at the end of the growing seaon last year because there were too many to eat. They freeze wonderfully.
I just made a big 'ole pot of Roasted Tomato soup this week using this technique. Love it for those lackluster winter tomatoes.
dasmueller -- Love the idea of freezing them!

tomatoes, my lovelies, should never see the inside of a refrigerator. no. seriously. :)
I like to leave my cherry/grape tomatoes out on the counter until they start to dry and shrivel up a bit. Then I like to cook them like that. They're so much sweeter with the perfect amount of tartness. :-)
My tomatoes rarely get to this point, but it's good to remember! They're supposed to be on the counter, eh? Huh. I sure do love them ice cold, though!
Our home is so dry the last few left in the container on the counter wrinkled to a sweet, dried perfection. I checked them for mold first, but they were all fine. I diced them up in an omelet to finish them off. Very interesting.
How long and what temperature do you roast them!?
