This recipe is as simple as it sounds.
I'm using some Italian plum tomatoes, because they are meaty and have less seeds and jelly. If you were to roast a juicy heirloom variety of tomato, for instance, it would fall apart.
I love fresh oregano, basil and other Tuscan flavored herbs on my roasted tomatoes. I also love garlic — lots and lots of garlic! This recipe features 8 cloves of garlic, more than one clove per tomato, but feel free to add as much or as little as you prefer.
Some people like to put some sugar or honey on roasted tomatoes to intensify their sweetness. If you want some additional acidity, throw in a couple teaspoons of white vinegar.
