Baked cherry tomatoes not only look good, they are absolutely scrumptious. When they bake in the oven the skin ruptures releasing some of their juices which combines with the oil, basil and pepper to make an incredible sauce. The sugar caramelises slightly and works as a flavour enhancer. I guarantee they will be scoffed up so you might consider making a second batch.
