The natural sugar content of campari tomatoes makes them perfect for roasting because they get deliciously soft and sweet the longer they bake. This easy bruschetta dish combines the juicy tomatoes with hearty cannellini beans, briny olives, tangy red onion, and a sprinkling of fresh Italian herbs before popping everything in the oven so the flavors can meld together. If you’re tempted to eat the veggie mixture straight out of the pan, we wouldn’t blame you! But this succulent recipe tastes even better when it’s spooned onto slices of toasted whole wheat bread for an appetizer-style snack. Be sure to drizzle the delicious pan juices over the toasts to infuse each bite with extra Mediterranean flair. You can also serve this flavorful tomato mixture over pasta or whole grains.

This was nice on toasted baguette, but it was quite dry, there were no pan juices.

This is a good, fresh ingredient, easy recipe. Served it on toasted, whole wheat bread. Had to substitute dry whole Italian seasoning for fresh (that’s what I had on hand), so I’m sure it will be even better with fresh herbs when I make it again!
