Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Tomatoes grow in abundance.

This year I tried something new with mine.

Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Ingredients

• Cherry Tomatoes - If you follow the link, and then follow her link, you'll find that it originally started with Romas, but I had cherry and 4 hours of roasting was long enough for me to tend to them. Artist's "borrow" ideas from others. Some people call it inspiration.
• Olive Oil
  
• Coarse Salt
• Ground Pepper
• Herbs - if desired

Directions

1. Cut tomatoes in half and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil for easy clean up.
2. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any herbs.
3. Place in a 225 degree oven and roast for 4 hours, turning every 30 minutes or so.

I took one evening and let them roast from 6 - 10 pm. They filled the house with a heavenly aroma and even though I did not use any herbs, they exploded with slow-roasted flavor. I've been snacking on them since but would be great in soup, with pasta, on a salad, in a wrap, on a pizza, etc. etc. etc.
