roasted tomatoes

I had some very ripe tomatoes in the bowl and wanted to do something that would preserve the tomatoes for later use.

Roasted them with garlic-olive oil mixture and some spicies!

I used;

8 ripe tomatoes

8 gloves of garlic
1/4 cup olive oil

salt, pepper, dry oregano

Chop small tomatoes in half and slice larger tomatoes in thirds or quarters.
Combine the pepper, salt, thyme or oregano, minced garlic and olive oil in a large bowl.

Whisk to blend. Add the tomatoes stir to coat with the oil mixture. Put them in a 350F.

Time will vary depending on your tomatoes. (Cook them untill they've started to brown).

Mmmm..smells good!

They can be used anywhere tomatoes are usually found. Extra tomatoes into something...

Isn't it wonderful ? They make the best sauce I love. Just spoon it over some pasta, with a bit of Parmesan maybe or just blend them until the sauce is smooth and toss it with pasta. Use in the tomato soups! Even with the salads and omelettes. They freeze very well to use all winter (up to 6 months) or store in the refrigerator for 1 week.

We also loved them on toasted whole wheat bread slices for breakfast :)
