I was very liberal with the olive oil. AFter roasting, I cooled them then pureed them in the food processor. Added some more fresh italian herbs from the garden and tossed it over pasta!

Oh my goodness. Instant favorite. So good! The only thing I disagree with is the idea that this could possibly serve four. Haha! I made a double batch and my other half and I demolished all but three halves. Roasting the tomatoes makes them like tomato candy.

This is such a great, light recipe. The only change I made was that I chopped the garlic cloves to get as much flavor from the garlic as I could. It was delicious. You can add various other items to this dish to please your taste buds. This one is a keeper. Thanks so much

I've been making these for years, but I use sprigs of fresh thyme instead of basil since that's what I have in the garden year round. A much earthier flavor. I've found that sliced or minced garlic works a little better than whole cloves. And I sometimes I add chunks of white onion, also. These are so versatile and can be used to add depth to so many dishes like soups, stews, sauces, white beans, etc. Roasting does wonders for tomatoes out-of-season, and they freeze beautifully. Don't forget a little freshly ground pepper or red pepper flakes.

Awesome!I had 5 roma tomatoes that I halved. I put them onto a parchment paper which was on a baking sheet. easy clean up for me. I then cut some garlic cloves in half and dropped them onto the roma tomatoe. I also put some garlic slivers into the tomatoes. I added a handful of fresh chopped basil, little rock salt, fresh black pepper. I drizzled a little olive oil over the tomatoes and baked at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Wonderfully sweet and fresh. The tomatoes were soften, juicy and so pretty with fresh green basil sprinkled all over. I'll be using this recipe for pasta sauces, and other dishes that call for tomatoes. Love this recipe. Ali thank you for sharing.

I was wanting to make some roasted tomatoes after seeing a similar recipe on 5 Ingredient Fix on the Food Network. So glad I found this incredibly EASY recipe. I don't why, but sometimes the simplest things just really hit the spot. No need for tons of vinegars and fancy wines all the time. I changed the method a bit. I minced the garlic, stirred it in wit the olive oil and just let it 'hang out' for a while so the flavors could infuse. I didn't have fresh basil on hand, so I just took about 1/2 tsp. of dried and mixed in the oil and garlic. I then too the tomato halves and gently tossed them with the oil mixture in a plastic bag and then poured into a shallow glass pie dish, making sure to turn the cut side up. Then I seasoned with sale and fresh black pepper. I don't think I needed to roast mine the full time, and they came out super yummy!

I've made this a few times now for my family, which tends to get stuck in recipe ruts, and they love it! I like to chop/crush fresh basil from my garden and sprinkle it on with hand minced garlic and coarsely ground sea salt. Delish!

This was great, although I roasted them at about 300 degrees for 60 minutes and toped with Gouda cheese in the last 5 minutes. The family loved them for mother's day.
