Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz cherry tomatoes
  • 5-6 garlic cloves peeled
  • 1/2-2/3 cup olive oil enough to generously coat the tomatoes and pool in the baking dish
  • fresh thyme to taste
  • fresh oregano to taste
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 275°F.
  2. Add the cherry tomatoes and garlic to a baking dish. Scatter thyme and oregano over the top, season with salt and pepper, then pour in enough olive oil to generously coat everything and pool around the tomatoes.
  3. Roast for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the tomatoes are wrinkled, soft, and beginning to burst and the garlic is tender.
  4. Serve warm or let cool and use the tomatoes, garlic, and flavored oil on toast, pasta, eggs, sandwiches, and more.

Notes

This recipe is intentionally flexible. The exact amount of olive oil and herbs will depend on the size of your baking dish and how many tomatoes you are using.
