Instructions
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Place the cherry tomatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper. Turn each tomato top side up and spread in a single layer.
Roast for 2 - 2.5 hours (depending on the size) or until the edges are dried but the insides are still juicy, checking for doneness after 2 hours. Cool on a wire rack, then place in an air tight container, tossing with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to preserve.
Notes
If your cherry tomatoes are on the smaller side, check for doneness after 1.5 hours.
Change up these tomatoes with your favorite herbs or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Store cherry tomatoes in an air tight container and use within 2 weeks.
