Notes
Pro Tips:
Add whole garlic cloves (not minced), to ensure that they don't burn. They don't have to be peeled. When they come out of the oven, they're easy to smash with a spoon and swirl into the olive oil, which adds great flavor to the tomatoes.
A light drizzle of balsamic vinegar may also be used in this recipe.
I use a light baking sheet for these. A dark baking sheet will attract more heat so baking time may need to be reduced, check on them after 20 minutes or so by popping on the oven light.
Storage:
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Do not store with cheese, only add cheese to the tomatoes you plan on eating/serving.
They can also be diced and frozen and used in place of canned tomatoes in recipes.
