Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pcs Roma tomatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 pcs Garlic cloves
- 4 pcs Fresh thyme sprigs
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Slice the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomato halves to coat them.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves, then scatter the slices over and around the tomatoes.
Place the fresh thyme sprigs on top of and between the tomatoes for added aroma and flavor.
Season the tomatoes with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
If desired, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes for a tangy, caramelized touch.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the tomatoes for 35-40 minutes, or until they become soft, slightly caramelized, and wrinkled at the edges.
Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, or use as a topping for pasta, salads, sandwiches, or bruschetta.
