Things I’ve Learned

Roasting tomatoes enhances their natural sweetness and flavor. If you have leftover roasted tomatoes, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them in the oven or enjoy them cold on salads. This dish can also be made ahead of time; simply prepare the roasted tomatoes and feta, and assemble the toast just before serving for the best texture.
