Ingredients

Olive Oil - 2 fl oz
Tomatoes - 8 pieces
Garlic - 12 cloves
Thyme - 1 bunch
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 428°F. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and arrange them cut side up in a single layer on a large ovenproof dish. Place the garlic cloves and thyme sprigs between the tomatoes.

Step 2

Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and season with pepper. Bake in the oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and starting to char slightly at the edges.

Step 3

Remove the dried thyme. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze the flesh of the garlic cloves onto the tomatoes for added spice and flavor. Garnish the dish with remaining fresh thyme sprigs, drizzle with oil, and serve hot or slightly cooled. Close your eyes and enjoy the taste of sunshine on the tip of your tongue.
