You can serve this appetizer warm or at room temperature. Which means you can set it out at the beginning of the party and you don’t have to worry about it again. The flavors gets even better as it sits at room temperature! I LOVE “set it and forget it” appetizers like this one!

Don’t skip the balsamic reduction in this recipe! It doesn’t take much effort to make – just a quick simmer on the stove – and it is going to add SO MUCH flavor to the dish! It’s sweet and tangy and amazing and you’re going to want to put it on everything after you try it!

If you have leftover roasted tomatoes, store them in the fridge for up to a week and add them to your favorite dishes. They’ll taste great on my crispy crostini for lunch or tossed with your favorite pasta for dinner. You could even add them to your favorite pizza sauce or pasta sauce!

Also, make sure you save all the tasty juices from the bottom of the baking dish!! The juices at the bottom are going to be a combination of olive oil, balsamic reduction, tomato juices and oregano and it’s seriously the best thing ever to dip your French baguette in. I basically just wanted to drink the juices at the bottom of this appetizer – which I realize sounds weird, but when you make this recipe you will understand!
