1 pkg organic grape tomatoes, washed and dry
4 green onions, whites only
3 cloves of garlic, smashed and halved
450F
Spray jelly roll pan with oil (use foil for easy clean up - the tomatoes get caramelized and messy). Mix together tomatoes, garlic and onions on pan - spray with additional oil, top with fresh ground black pepper and fresh ground sea salt. Roast approx 20-25 minutes or until some tomatoes are browned and popped.
