Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 6 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 8 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and core the Roma tomatoes. Cut them into quarters and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Drizzle the tomatoes and garlic with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Toss well to coat evenly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. Spread the tomato mixture in a single layer on the sheet, making sure the garlic slices are evenly distributed.
Lay the anchovy fillets across the tomatoes, spacing them out evenly.
Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes soften, their edges caramelize, and the anchovies melt into the mixture.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Tear the fresh basil leaves by hand and scatter them over the roasted tomatoes.
Serve immediately as a side dish, over pasta, or with fresh bread. Enjoy!
