A recipe for slow-roasted tomatoes

 

If you are looking for something yummy to have that's easy to fix, try these slow-roasted tomatoes.

Preheat your oven to 225 F.

Take Roma tomatoes and slice them in half length-wise.  Then cut a wedge out of the center of each half that removes the fibrous part and discard it.  This fibrous center center will not tenderize as much as the rest of the tomato.

Lay them on foil (or parchment paper) spread on a baking sheet.

Brush them each with olive oil.

Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over each half.  I prefer to use kosher salt for this.

Then sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, basil, and oregano over each of the halves.

Then cook them for 3 hours.  Yes, that's right.  3 hours.  This low oven of temperature of 225 F will cook them perfectly.  They will be savory and flavorful.

Give them a try and let me know how it goes.
