Slow Roasted Tomatoes


I must confess that I am not huge tomato fan.  I love tomato sauce but I have never just eaten a tomato.  My husband can eat them off the vine in our garden, but not me. This recipe for slow roasting them is the closest I come to eating a tomato.  These roasted tomatoes are delicious.  They are a little juicy and very sweet.  You can eat them as is or with toast (garlic bread is even better)!

2 Pints of Cherry Tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
Olive Oil
Dried Thyme
Parmesan Cheese

Slice all the tomatoes in half and place in a bowl.  Drizzle with some olive oil, a tablespoon or two, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle with some dried thyme, about a teaspoon, and some Parmesan cheese, however much or little you like.  Toss to coat all the tomatoes and then place them on a greased baking sheet with the cut side up.

Roast tomatoes in a 275 degree oven for about two hours.  Enjoy right away warm or at room temperature!
