I love easy holiday appetizer recipes like these Roasted Balsamic Tomato Garlic Bites. You can make the roasted Balsamic tomatoes ahead of time and then prepare them the day of your party.

Roasted Balsamic Tomato Garlic Bites recipe ingredients

Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
Grape tomatoes
Fresh garlic cloves
Extra virgin olive oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Sea salt
Pepper
Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Roast the tomatoes and fresh garlic with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.

Stack a small square of mozzarella cheese on top of a cracker and top the cheese with about 1/2 teaspoon of the roasted balsamic tomatoes and garlic.

Add a ribbon of fresh basil and sprinkle some sea salt on top.

Pop one in your mouth for a little taste test!

Ummm a little bite of heaven.

Roasted Balsamic Vegetables

I love roasting vegetables in balsamic vinegar.

A little olive oil and balsamic vinegar tossed over the tomatoes and garlic or any vegetable for that matter does something magical as the natural sugars from the roasting vegetables and the balsamic vinegar cooks down.

There is no other flavor like it. It is a sweet and tangy flavor you won’t find anywhere else.
