Choose ripe, firm, and evenly coloured cherry tomatoes for a sweeter flavour that intensifies during slow-roasting.

Slow-roasting the tomatoes enhances their sweetness and concentrates the flavours.

Use thick slices of good-quality rustic bread, such as sourdough, ciabatta, or multigrain, to complement the roasted tomatoes.

Optional toppings include balsamic glaze, black sliced olives, or red pepper flakes for additional flavour.
