Step 1

Preheat oven to 400.

Arrange tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut side up, in a single layer. Drizzle with EVOO and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with the garlic, salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, then give the tomatoes a quick stir with a wooden spoon. Roast for another 10 - 15 minutes, until tomatoes begin to caramelize. Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped basil over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
