Simple Roasted Tomatoes

This is actually the first time I tried not only making, but eating roasted tomatoes. Never again will I eat a regular tomato. Something magical happens in the oven where a basic little tomato transforms into a super tomato, with his little flavours amplified and sweetness enhanced... If you have the patience, or want to impress someone, bust out these little bad boys and you'll be beating the ladies off with a stick.. That's a promise ;)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients 

- Any tomatoes of your choice, I chose Grape Tomatoes because I wanted them as sweet as possible
- 3-5 cloves of garlic (depending on your taste)
- dried oregano
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste


Directions

 Preheat oven to 325F

 Wash and cut your tomatoes in half (if you're using larger tomatoes, quarter them)
 Place on a lined baking sheet 

 Mince your garlic and sprinkle over tomatoes
 Drizzle just enough olive oil over the tomatoes to make them glisten

 Sprinkle with Oregano, Salt and Pepper 

Bake for an hour or until they are darker in color and the edges start to get wrinkly 

Sorry for the blurry pics!


Mina's Notes/Suggestions :

- This recipe is fairly flexible in regards to temperature, so if you need to use the oven for something else at a higher temperature (up 375F) then you're fine...you can even do it at 400, but keep an eye on them to ensure the garlic, or tomatoes don't burn!

- If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, you can substitute for garlic power..won't be AS tasty, but will still add to the yumminess



Happy Eating! <3
