Oven Baked Tomatoes

While flipping through my Bon Appétit Magazine, I came upon a gorgeous photo of Oil and Thyme Roasted Plum Tomatoes.  I knew that I had to attempt to recreate the beauty of those glistening tomatoes.  I swoon whenever I see Tomatoes, Garlic and Thyme!  And let me tell you, the aroma is absolutely divine.

Instead of plum tomatoes, I used some baby heirlooms and sun gold cherry tomatoes.  After the tomatoes are roasted the skins can be a little tough.  So if you plan on peeling the skins off, I would recommend using larger sized tomatoes.  I don’t mind the tomato skins, especially since I pureed the roasted tomatoes into a sauce.

Serve these beautifully roasted tomatoes as a side dish, puree them into a sauce or use as a condiment.  It makes for a great alternative to ketchup.
