Roasted Cherry Tomato Caprese

This roasted cherry tomato caprese is a sophisticated, warm twist on the classic Italian salad. By slow-roasting the tomatoes with garlic and fresh thyme, their natural sweetness intensifies and creates a rich, fragrant oil that serves as a built-in dressing. Paired with creamy buffalo mozzarella, it is a vibrant dish that celebrates simple, high-quality ingredients and provides a lovely balance of textures.

As a balanced nutrition choice, this recipe offers a wealth of antioxidants from the cooked tomatoes and healthy fats from the extra-virgin olive oil. It makes an excellent light lunch or a communal starter when served with crusty toasted bread. For the best flavour, ensure your mozzarella is at room temperature before serving to allow its delicate, milky profile to shine through.

Ingredients for Roasted Cherry Tomato Caprese

  • 1125ml cherry tomatoes

  • 4 sprigs thyme

  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed

  • 60ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • Kosher salt

  • 230g fresh buffalo or cow mozzarella (about 1 ball), room temperature, torn into large pieces

  • Flaky sea salt

  • Country-style bread, brushed with oil, toasted in oven (for serving)

How to make Roasted Cherry Tomato Caprese

Preheat oven to 177°C. Toss tomatoes, thyme, garlic, and oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat and season lightly with kosher salt. Spread out in a single layer and roast until tomatoes are bursting and lightly browned, 40–45 minutes; let cool.

Arrange mozzarella on a platter and spoon warm tomato mixture with juices over; sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with olive-oil-toasted bread for soaking up all those extra juices.

Tomatoes can be roasted 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Gently reheat before using.
