Creating Ricotta Bruschetta with Roasted Tomatoes is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Tomatoes: In a bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Roast Tomatoes: Spread the tomatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are caramelized and tender.
4. Prepare Bread: While the tomatoes roast, slice the baguette or ciabatta loaf into ½-inch thick slices. Arrange them on another baking sheet.
5. Toast Bread: Drizzle the bread slices with olive oil and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
6. Mix Ricotta: In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with chopped fresh basil. Add salt and pepper to taste for added flavor.
7. Assemble Bruschetta: Once the tomatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Spread a generous amount of the ricotta mixture on each toasted bread slice.
8. Top with Tomatoes: Spoon the roasted tomatoes over the ricotta on each slice.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle additional herbs like thyme or oregano on top for added flavor.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Ricotta Bruschetta with Roasted Tomatoes while the bread is still warm.
