Roasted Tomatoes

  • 8 large tomatoes
  • 4 tablespoons coarse or sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, chervil, sage (optional)
  • Step 1

    Heat oven to 250 degrees. Slice tomatoes thickly, to yield about three slices per tomato. Eat or discard the ends. Place slices on a parchment-covered baking sheet.

  • Step 2

    Mix together salt, pepper, and sugar. Brush tomatoes with olive oil, and sprinkle a large pinch of salt mixture on each tomato. Sprinkle on herbs, if using.

  • Step 3

    Roast the tomatoes for 3 hours. Or roast for 2 hours, turn off oven, and leave overnight.
