Photo: Crostini with Thyme-Roasted Tomatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 to 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 8 1/2-inch-thick slices baguette, cut on the bias
- 1 clove garlic
Directions
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Place the tomatoes cut-side up in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and the thyme. Roast 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, or until the tomatoes are very soft and slightly shrunken.
Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Rub the crostini with garlic and top each with a roasted tomato.

Of all the complicated and expensive ingredient crostini I served this New Years Eve, this simple recipe was the one people raved about. My plum tomatoes were really fat so I probably roasted them for 3 hours. I doubled the recipe but could have doubled that! This is now one of my favorites and its amazingly inexpensive and easy to do. You could get fancy adding goat cheese to the crostini etc, but DON'T, the simple flavors are the stars of this one. Make it!

Simple and fabulous. I've made this 3 times and it has been a hit each time. Everyone really enjoyed it. Baking the crostini for 10 minutes made them a little too hard for my tastes. The second time I made it I baked the crostini for 7 minutes and it was still too hard. Third time I made it A baked the crostini for 5 minutes and it was perfect.
