Edible parts
Ripe fruits
Recipe idea for your Tiny Tim cherry tomato harvest. Roast the small tomatoes on a baking sheet to concentrate their flavor. Cut them in half, place them cut-side up, and add a drizzle of olive oil. Distribute a few thin slices of garlic between the fruit, without leaving them exposed on top. Place in the oven at 200°C (392°F) and watch them cook until the edges begin to brown. The flesh should soften without completely dissolving into the juice. Toss the still-warm tomatoes with short pasta and a little pasta water, then finish with fresh basil and pepper. The size of the fruit guides the cut: keep the small fruit bite-sized and divide the larger tomatoes into easy-to-eat pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last moment to fresh preparations. For roasting, use a sufficiently large surface area so the juice can evaporate.
