The tomatoes are coming in bright and juicy, and it’s time to find creative uses for them while they’re in season. Crack Tomatoes offer a truly irresistible dish that makes the most of this savory, tangy fruit. Coated in aromatic and zesty seasonings and roasted to elevate and deepen their flavor, Crack Tomatoes pair wonderfully with grilled chicken or seared pork when you aren’t popping them in your mouth one by one. Add in fragrant basil with sharp, creamy feta cheese, and very few side dishes can amaze in quite the same way. You’ll be cracking your oven open, over and over again, to whip up another batch.
