Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 2 1/2 to 3 lb. (1.25 to 1.5 kg) assorted heirloom tomatoes
  • 2 shallots, each quartered lengthwise
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme, plus 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Instruction

  • Preheat an oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • In a large baking dish, arrange the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a single layer. Drizzle the vegetables evenly with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the chopped thyme and nestle the thyme sprigs around the tomatoes.
  • Roast the tomatoes until they are softened but still hold their shape, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 6 to 8.
