I love roasted tomatoes, they are one of my favourite things. They take on a delicious sweetness and it’s amazing how roasting them brings out so much more flavour than you would find in a fresh tomato. I love trying roasted tomatoes in a variety of dishes, so, I decided to try a roasted cherry tomato tarte tatin.
I’ve made mushroom tarte tatin previously, and it was delicious and I’ve made it a number of times since, so I knew a roasted cherry tomato version would be just as delicious, if not more-so. Slow roasted cherry tomatoes, caramelised onions and flaky pastry. What is there not to love?
I served my tarte tatin’s with a simple lettuce salad as I didn’t want anything to overpower or take anything away from the delicious tomato flavour, but you could serve them with whatever you like.

Thank you Kulsum, you are too kind! :D The tarte tatin was a huge success. After polishing one off my boyfriend declared he would be happy if we had this for dinner every night. Sometimes simple dishes really are best.
Roasted tomatoes are so delicious, and throw in caramelized onions? Incredible! I love that there are so few ingredients.

I love dishes with a few ingredients, it really highlights the ingredients that are in the dish and shows them to their best I think. But seriously, anything with roasted tomato is a winner in my books. :D
