Bruschetta with Roasted Tomatoes and Basil

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Spread the tomato mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and slightly caramelized.

While the tomatoes are roasting, lightly brush the baguette slices with olive oil.

Toast the baguette slices in the oven for the last 5-7 minutes of the tomato roasting time, or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the tomatoes and baguette from the oven.

Spoon the roasted tomato mixture onto the toasted baguette slices.

Garnish with fresh chopped basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze (if using).

Serve immediately and enjoy!
