Pizza is always a good idea, and these bites give you the best part. With cherry or grape tomatoes tossed with spices and roasted down to their juicy, sweet essence, then topped with cheese and baked again until it melts, it’s a snack that’s rich in nutrients as well as a cravings buster. Plus: Cooking tomatoes brings out more lycopene, a phytochemical that gives tomatoes their bright color and strong antioxidant power. Enjoy these as is, or on top of low-carb crackers, or even on top of some plain yogurt or cottage cheese.

Ingredients

1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon sea salt

3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF; line a baking sheet with parchment.
Place the tomatoes in a bowl. Add the oil, oregano, garlic powder and salt; gently toss to combine. Spread the tomatoes out on the baking sheet, turning them all cut sides up. Drizzle the tomatoes with the oil left behind in the bowl.
Roast the tomatoes until they’re very tender and lightly caramelized, and have collapsed, 30 to 33 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with both cheese. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes longer. Serve hot.

Tips

These are delicious right out of the oven, but they’re also luscious cold (who doesn’t love cold pizza?). Let cool, transfer to a container, cover and refrigerate. Make a double or triple batch of these and serve them at a party, either on spoons or with crackers or flatbreads.
