Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, chopped garlic, stripped thyme leaves, olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
  2. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and slightly charred.
  3. While the tomatoes roast, cut each burrata ball in half and fill the center with pesto.
