Note

For a stronger garlic flavor, roast the garlic cloves whole until soft and then mash them into a paste before mixing with the tomatoes.

You can add a pinch of dried oregano or thyme along with the salt and pepper for extra herbal notes.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

These roasted tomatoes also make a great topping for bruschetta or can be blended into a quick sauce for pasta.
