How To Make Bruschetta With Tomatoes Confit
Here’s a classic traditional recipe, by Italian Chef Chicca Maione. She can even teach you the art of making bruschetta in person through her cooking classes (If you are looking for a great vacation).
This simple vegan bruschetta is made with cherry tomatoes roasted with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and all your favorite fresh herbs. If you can, use a combo of fresh red and orange tomatoes. With plenty of flavor and color, it’s the queen of the starters!

Prep Time: 10 minutes.
Cook Time: 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them on the baking sheet, cut-sides up. Do not to overlap. Drizzle the tomatoes with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle sugar and herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake the tomatoes for 30-40 minutes or until soft and nicely caramelized. Cool tomatoes to room temperature in their baking sheet, keeping the cooking juice.
Toast the bread and rub fresh garlic on each slice. Then, using the spoon, top the bread with the cooked tomatoes, using all the oil and juice.
Sprinkle freshly chopped basil on each bruschetta. Serve warm or at room temperature.
