Oven-Roasted Tomatoes
Roasting is a great way to cook all those cherry tomatoes from that prolific plant. The tomato flavors concentrate and become sweet. They can be added to salads, eaten as a vegetable with a meal, or just used as a snack.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
You can use any amount of tomatoes as long as they fit on the rimmed baking sheet you intend to use.
Line the sheet with aluminum foil. Cut the tomatoes in half, placing them cut side up on the baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil, then sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Bake until the tomatoes just start to brown, do not let them burn. The length of time will depend on the thickness of the tomatoes, but will take about 10 to 20 minutes, so you will have to watch them. The tomatoes can be served warm or at room temperature.
