Make these when tomatoes are in season. The slow roasting gives them an incredible flavor: serve with little toasts, or chop them up and toss with pasta or couscous.

Preparation facts

Servings: 10

Yield: 20 tomato halves

Ingredients

2 lbs (910g) Roma tomatoes, fresh and in season (about 10 tomatoes)

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbs (30mL) extra–virgin olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C).

Carefully cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and place cut side up on a shallow baking pan or cookie sheet. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle minced garlic over tomatoes. Add a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.

Bake, uncovered for 4 hours or more. The tomatoes should be fairly shriveled looking and very aromatic.

Cool to room temperature and serve as an appetizer on crackers or thin slices of French bread.
