You can enjoy these tomatoes straight from the container, washed and ready for snacking. For salads, simply halve or quarter them and toss with your favorite greens and dressing. When roasting, spread them on a baking sheet with olive oil, herbs, and garlic, then bake until softened and slightly caramelized. They also add a burst of flavor and color when added to simmering sauces or threaded onto skewers for grilling or baking.
