4. Bake cherry tomatoes for approximately 15 – 20 minutes or until tomatoes burst and begin to caramelize.

Entertaining Tip:  For an extra special presentation, heat 2 tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar in a small saucepan, stirring frequently until vinegar is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Toss the tomatoes with the basil.

Drizzle some of the thickened balsamic reduction sauce over the Aloha Diet Roasted Balsamic Tomatoes before serving.
