How to make Roasted Cherry Tomato Tart

Learn how to make this easy roasted cheery tomato tart in my step-by-step instructions below. This is also a stellar way to use up extra cherry tomatoes! While there are a lot of steps, each step is easy and clear.

Step 1

To make this recipe, you need about 3-4 cups of cherry tomatoes. Rinse, cut them in half, and place them in a medium sized bowl.

Step 2

Add olive oil, salt and pepper, Italian seasonings, garlic powder, and balsamic vinegar to the bowl and toss gently

Step 3

Spread evenly on a 13 x 9 rimmed baking sheet. Roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) for about 25-30 minutes or until they are slightly shriveled and some of them are beginning to turn dark.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Turn up the oven heat to 425 degrees. 

Step 5

Line another large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the two sheets of puff pastry out to fill the whole baking sheet. You may have to overlap the 2 sheets slightly.

Step 6

Score the pastry about 1 inch from each edge but do not press down all the way through the dough. Use a fork to prick holes in the dough.

Step 7

Bake the puff pastry for 10 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius)

Step 8

Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) and continue to bake 10-15 minutes longer.

Step 9

Remove the puff pastry from the oven but don't worry if they look like 2 pillows! Just stick the end of a knife into them and they will flatten. Set aside to cool.

Step 10

Meanwhile, place the softened goat cheese into a small bowl, add the chopped fresh parsley and basil, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to the bowl. Use a fork to blend it all together thoroughly. 

Step 11

Carefully spread the herbed goat cheese mixture over the baked puff pastry crust. Followed by spooning the roasted cherry tomatoes over the goat cheese mixture.

Step 12

Brush the edges of the tart with more of the beaten egg. Bake the tart at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) for 10-15 minutes or until the tomatoes are heated through.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and garnish the tart with a chiffonade of additional fresh basil. That's just a fancy word for stacking basil leaves together and cutting them into thin strips!

Step 14

Allow the tart to cool for about 5 minutes on the pan. Transfer and cut into serving pieces. I was able to get 8 servings from my tart. 

Step 15

Enjoy your homemade roasted cherry tomatoes!

If desired, drizzle additional balsamic vinegar on each serving piece.

Oh, how yum! The taste of summertime!
