Active:: 10 min

Yield:: 4 to 6 servings

Level:: Easy

Ingredients

2 pounds ripe plum tomatoes, cored and halved lengthwise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Small handful fresh thyme sprigs, plus extra for storing
Extra-virgin olive oil, for storing

Directions

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.

Arrange the tomatoes, cut side-up, in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and scatter with the thyme sprigs. Bake until the tomatoes are slightly shriveled but still plump, about 5 hours.

Use the roasted tomatoes right away or layer with fresh thyme sprigs in a resealable container and cover with oil. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
