Roasting Tomatoes Recipe

I discovered a new culinary delight some years back, roasting tomatoes. You can’t believe how sweet and good they taste. The cooking time is quite lengthy, but it just oven time. They cook in their own juice so to speak.

Ingredients:

•     3 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
•     1 tbl olive oil
•     1/4 tsp dried oregano leaves
•     kosher salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Cover a low-rimmed baking dish with foil. Place cut tomatoes on baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with thyme leaves and season with kosher salt.
2. Roast until tomatoes begin to collapse, brushing occasionally with pan juices, about 90 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool about 10 minutes prior to serving.
