ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: red wine vinegar

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2

Add cherry tomatoes to a baking dish or sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the tomatoes are evenly coated.

3

Roast the tomatoes for 20–25 minutes, or until they’re soft, blistered, and beginning to burst. Let the tomatoes cool for about 10 minutes after roasting.

4

While the tomatoes cool slightly, spread your ricotta cheese onto a serving platter or shallow bowl. For a smoother texture, you can whip the ricotta in a food processor for 1–2 minutes before serving.

5

Spoon the roasted tomatoes and their juices over the ricotta. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with freshly torn basil leaves.

6

Serve immediately with crackers, crostini, or toasted bread.
