Yield
About 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons finely minced summer savory or thyme
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise. Place the tomatoes, cut side up, on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Drizzle them with the oil and sprinkle them with the savory, salt, and pepper. Roast them for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the tomatoes are beginning to color on their edges and have lost about half of their moisture. The tomatoes will keep, covered with plastic wrap at room temperature, for up to 1 day.
