This healthy recipe enhances the natural sweetness of ripe tomatoes with garlic and fresh herbs. Perfect as a flavorful side dish, the roasting process brings out juicy and succulent flavors with minimal effort.
Coat a rimmed baking sheet lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Slice the tomatoes into ½-inch thick rounds (about 4–5 slices per tomato) and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the tomatoes evenly with chopped garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the edges start to caramelize.
Notes
For best results, use large vine-ripened tomatoes, but Roma or cherry tomatoes can also work well.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
Serve as a side dish, atop pasta, or on crusty bread for a bruschetta-style snack.
