Roasted Tomatoes with Fresh Herbs

July and August bring a dazzling array of tomato choices to farmers’ markets, from tiny, sweet cherry or grape varieties to heirlooms in shades of yellow, green, pink, red and more. Take advantage of the bounty and use contrasting colors and shapes in dishes such as these simple roast tomatoes, which are fantastic with roast meats or sautéed fish or in sandwiches or salads. Chilled, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and paired with fontina, they make an elegant starter. When pureed they make an intensely tomatoey pizza or pasta sauce.
