Instructions

Tomatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 325 F
  2. In a bowl, mix together the garlic, thyme, basil, oil and salt.
  3. On a large baking sheet, lay out the tomatoes in a single layer and spread the marinade over the tomatoes.
  4. Put the baking sheet on the middle rack and bake for approximately 45-55 minutes depending on the size of the tomato, the tomatoes will start to look a little shriveled up.
  5. Turn the oven up to 400 F for about 20 minutes to slightly caramelize the tomatoes.
  6. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn, although a little brown is okay.
