Slow Roasted Tomatoes with Garlic and Herbs
Slow-roasted tomatoes is one of my go-to appetizer recipes. Simply serve them warm with slices of baguette and a bowl of olives and you're all set. They are also delicious tossed into a pasta or a salad, or even as a pizza topping. Make a big batch and keep them on hand - you never know when you'll need them!

Ingredients
- 4 pounds Roma tomatoes
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ to ½ cup olive oil

Instructions

- Drizzle the olive oil generously all over the tomatoes and toss the tomatoes a little to distribute evenly. Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped herbs over the top and season well with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Roast for about 5 to 6 hours (yes, six hours). Longer is better in this recipe, but if you have to take the tomatoes out early, it’s not a disaster.

- Store in a jar, covered in a little olive oil, in the refrigerator and do your best not to snack on them constantly!

Working on my second batch, these I will freeze and then vacuum seal to enjoy this winter. This slow roasting method gives them a wonderful robust flavor.
Can these then be frozen to use at a later date in my pasta sauce?
Yes Julia that is a great idea! You can freeze them in air tight container or freezer bags for up to 6 months.
Easy and Delicious !!!
