Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add smashed garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add cherry tomatoes and salt, then let them cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until they start to blister.

  4. Step 4

    Shake the skillet gently to roll the tomatoes and cook 2 more minutes until most skins split.

  5. Step 5

    Serve warm over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the oil.
