Slow-Roasted Plum Tomatoes

Garlicky slow-roasted plum tomatoes to eat as an appetizer with crackers, or by themselves.

Ingredients

• 0.5 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 6 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise and seeded
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
2. Mix together onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and basil in an 8-inch square baking pan; spread evenly in the bottom of the pan. Place tomatoes, cut-sides down, on top of the onion mixture. Drizzle olive oil on top. Sprinkle with sugar and season with salt and pepper.
3. Roast in the preheated oven until tomatoes have started to collapse and are browning around the edges, about 2 1/2 hours.
