Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Tomatoes, preferably plum
Fresh herbs (optional):
-Thyme, rosemary, oregano,
-ÿÿgarlic

PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F. Lightly oil a cookie sheet or
baking pan with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and
pepper. Slice tomatoes (plum tomatoes work best)
crosswise into 1-inch slices. Pack tightly together on
the pan; ideally the tomatoes should fill the entire
pan. Drizzle the tomatoes lightly with olive oil,
sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with fresh
herbs if desired (use thyme, rosemary, oregano or
garlic, alone or in combination). Roast for 45 minutes
to a hour. The tomatoes should be shrivelled and
dehydrated without burning. The flavor will get more
intense and rich the longer the tomatoes are left in
the oven.
