SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES
2 to 4 servings
Gentle heat and time concentrates the flavor of tomatoes and turns them silky and sweet. Simply running a knife through them results in a rich, chunky sauce. Toss with pasta or use on a pizza.
Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out on the sheet:
- 2 pounds tomatoes, cut into ¾-inch-thick slices
Combine:
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Sprinkle over the tomatoes. Drizzle with:
- Olive oil
Sprinkle with:
- Chopped basil, thyme, or other herb of your choice
Bake for 2 hours. Let cool to room temperature.
