# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Toss tomatoes with dried herbs, olive oil, balsamic vinegar (if using), and smashed garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Line baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup (optional).

Remove tomatoes from the oven. Squeeze garlic out of its peel and mash into the pan juices with a fork. Toss tomatoes with fresh basil or parsley for added flavor.
04 -
Transfer roasted tomatoes and pan juices to a serving plate. Tear or chunk burrata, arranging it among the tomatoes to mingle flavors and textures.

Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar (if desired) over the dish. Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and fresh basil before serving.
