Ingredients

3 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, or 1/4 teaspoon dried

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with thyme leaves; season with salt and pepper.

Roast until tomatoes begin to collapse, brushing occasionally with pan juices, about 90 minutes. This can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 325 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.
