I think oven roasted tomatoes in olive oil might be my new favorite thing. They fall into the category of simple and delicious food that all those tv shows talk about. The great thing is that they actually are simple to do at home. The ingredients are minimal and tools required amount to a knife, a source of heat and a jar to store them in. Last night they went on tacos, tonight I think I’ll be putting them on pizza, tomorrow night they will be layered on hamburgers. After that who knows. Actually after that I think I will have to make a new batch. Here’s how…
Heat your oven to 225 degrees. Cut several tiny tomatoes in half and lay them cut side up on a parchment line baking sheet. Sprinkly them with salt and pepper. Throw on a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme, along with a couple of bashed cloves of garlic. Drizzle with a couple teaspoons of olive oil and roast for 3 hours. Let them cool on the sheet and then pack them in a jar and fill with olive oil. Store them in the fridge. They will last for a couple of weeks. Oh, a warning, the smell while these are cooking is divine. Be prepared, you will be starving by the time they are done.
