  • Place baking sheet in preheated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until tomatoes have burst, and are releasing juices, stirring halfway through.

  • When done roasting, scrape tomato mixture into a medium bowl, discarding only the herb sprigs. Stir mixture gently, but break up garlic cloves with the spoon. Add the balsamic vinegar, and once mixture cools to room temperature, add basil.
