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.

This was great! I put some goat cheese on top as well, and it tasted a little better. the only thing is, that it's a lot of time, and not extremely hearty or satisfying. Good for a party, where you can just leave them in the oven and forget about it while taking care of the other cooking, but not worth it if you just want something to munch on at home.

I made these for a party recently and they were fantastic. I served them on homemade french baguettes and added a little more garlic. I also used roma tomatoes that were fairly big, so I cut them in thirds which worked well. I would definitely recommend these for any appetizer or party because of their simplicty and eye appeal.
