    This recipe is super simple and completely delicious. It takes a long time to roast the tomatoes, but your patience will be rewarded with some delicious, sweet tomatoes. The flavor gets so rich - it's almost like a sun-dried tomato but nice and warm and plump. These are good straight out of the oven, or even drizzled with a little balsamic vinegar. In the magazine, it talks about pureeing them into a sauce, too. I'll definitely try that out sometime, but since I only made half a batch, I'll just stick to eating these straight up. Wow.

    Cooking Light December 2009

    Slow roasting is one of the best uses for winter tomatoes because it intensifies their sweetness.

    ½ teaspoon salt
    ½ teaspoon dried basil

    4 pounds plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise (about 16 medium)
    Cooking spray

    1. Preheat oven to 200°.

    2. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl, tossing gently to coat. Arrange tomatoes, cut side up, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Roast at 200° for 7 ½ hours.

      I would love to do this, but can't seem to justify letting my oven on for such a long period of time. Wish I had a food dehydrator as this sounds sooooo good!!

      Well, the oven is on pretty low...and I recently got a double oven, and the top is tiny so it's supposed to be more energy efficient. Maybe there's something else you could slow cook at the same time, that way you'd have an excuse to make these 😉
