Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Wash the Roma tomatoes thoroughly. Slice each tomato in half lengthwise.

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomatoes.
Sprinkle the sliced garlic over the tomatoes, distributing it evenly.
Place the fresh thyme sprigs on top of the tomatoes.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast the tomatoes for 2 hours and 30 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized and shriveled but still juicy.
Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These tomatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
