A few simple ingredients are all you need to turn your garden-fresh tomatoes into these mouthwatering Roasted Tomatoes with Basil and Thyme. Enjoy on their own or add them to any number of recipes!

Ingredients

24 plum like Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise - or use a larger amount of smaller tomatoes that are cut in half
½ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 large garlic cloves minced
4 teaspoons sugar
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
20 large fresh basil leaves julienned (plus more for garnish, if you like!)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves plus more for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450° F. Prepare a large rimmed pan by covering it in foil (easy clean-up!) and spraying lightly with vegetable oil.
Arrange tomatoes on pan, cut sides up, in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, basil, and thyme.
Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, until tomatoes soften and caramelize, and the flavors become concentrated. Depending on the size and amount of tomatoes you use, you may need to roast for less or more time.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Store leftover tomatoes in the fridge for up to 5 days. Be sure to add any juices to the container, to keep them moist and preserve all that beautiful flavor.

Enjoy leftover tomatoes cold - great for sandwiches and salads! Or simply reheat in the microwave.

Store leftover tomatoes in the freezer, in freezer-safe containers. Then pull them out whenever your meals need an extra boost. I like to freeze 1 and 2-cup quantities to add to spaghetti and pizza sauce, and Lasagna Soup.

I welcome anything that will add a bit of summer's fresh bounty during a long winter. These concentrated bites of summertime sweetness are welcome in my kitchen any time!
