I think simple, easy-to-make vegan appetizers are a host's best friend when it comes to entertaining. This Roasted Tomato Bruschetta recipe fits the bill.
It is the perfect portable snack for a party. Sometimes the simplest recipes are the most elegant and satisfying.
Roasting vegetables has been a favorite go-to cooking method of mine, especially vegetables like cauliflower. Tomatoes probably come in second, which is apparent when you see how many recipes I have with them, like Roasted Tomato Basil Dip.
Roasting vegetables intensifies their flavors. Tomatoes become sweeter.
Here I've paired the tomato with one of its best friends - basil. They are a match made in heaven. I've also included balsamic vinegar, which is another friend of the tomatoes.
For those of you who are not only vegan but are also gluten-free, I know finding a good-tasting baguette can be difficult. I have been making mine out of Pamela's pizza mix. I love the texture and the flavor.
One of my favorite ways to eat it is with roasted garlic mayo on top. It reminds me of garlic bread but without the vegan buttery spread (aka Earth Balance).
Other recipes to try are my Vegetable Chickpea Flour Patties, Non-Dairy Tomato Soup recipe, and Vegan Rice Paper Cream Cheese Wontons.

❤️ Why You'll Love It
- It has the perfect balance of flavors.
- It is an easy appetizer for a party or get-together.
- Tomatoes become sweeter when you roast them.
🧾 Ingredients
- Cherry tomatoes: I used cherry tomatoes, but plum tomatoes or grape tomatoes would also work.
- Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
- Olive oil: For roasting the tomatoes and garlic.
- Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. I like to use sea salt.
- Balsamic vinegar: Adds a sweet tangy flavor.
- Fresh basil: Complements the tomatoes. If you have extra like I did, you can puree it with some olive oil and freeze it in ice cube trays.
- Baguette: I used Pamela's gluten-free pizza mix to make a baguette when I first published this recipe. When I updated it I used a vegan gluten-free baguette from Trader Joe's. They do not always carry them, so you may have to check frequently. Use your favorite baguette.
