Prep the tomatoes: Slice all your grape tomatoes in half lengthwise.
Mix the flavor: In a bowl, combine the tomato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and red chili flakes (about ½ teaspoon of each—or more if you love extra flavor).
Roast the tomatoes:
Air fryer method: Cook tomatoes at 380°F for 15 minutes.
Oven method: No air fryer? No problem! Roast all your tomatoes in the oven at 350°F for about 45 minutes.
Prep your basil and mozzarella: While the tomatoes cook, slice your mozzarella pearls in half and pick about 1½ cups of whole basil leaves.
Assemble your wreath:
Start forming a circle on your serving board with the basil leaves (flip a few upside down to create little “cups”).
Spoon the roasted tomatoes into the center of the circle.
Sprinkle the halved mozzarella pearls evenly throughout the wreath.
Add the finishing touches:
Place a small dipping bowl of balsamic vinegar in the center and set out toothpicks for easy serving.
You can also add crostini or a light cheese spread to create the perfect bite!
