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
- coarse or kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
- 2 teaspoon fresh rosemary inely chopped, optional
Instructions
-
Pre-heat the oven to 225 ̊F.
-
Cut the Roma tomatoes in half and spread out on a baking sheet, cut side up.
-
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.
-
Serve tossed in a pasta dish, spread on a crostini, or accompanying chicken, meat or fish.
-
Store in a jar, covered in a little olive oil, in the refrigerator and do your best not to snack on them constantly!
