Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces plum tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the plum tomatoes. Slice them in half lengthwise and place them cut side up on a large baking sheet.
Peel the garlic cloves and thinly slice them. Sprinkle the garlic slices evenly over the tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil over all the tomatoes, ensuring they're evenly coated.
Season the tomatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.
Lay the fresh thyme sprigs over the tomatoes, or strip the leaves from the stems and sprinkle them on top for more flavor.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes for a touch of sweetness and acidity.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast the tomatoes for 40-45 minutes. The edges should caramelize slightly, and the tomatoes should soften and release some juices.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomatoes cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, use as a topping for pasta or bruschetta, or blend into a sauce for more uses.
