Slow Roasted Tomatoes - superb flavor!

This is truly one of my favourite recipes. It's so easy to make yet the flavour is so complex. The tomatoes are meaty and juicy and the long roasting time intensifies the flavors of the tomatoes, garlic and basil. So succulently delicious. Serve with a side of buttery soft garlic breadsticks for the perfect Italian meal!

Prep Time 5

Cook Time 3

Total Time 3 5

INGREDIENTS

2-3 lbs tomatoes
8 small garlic cloves, chopped
½ cup fresh basil leaves
2-3 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon S&P (to taste)
1 teaspoon dry oregano, za'atar (optional)
3-4 servings pasta (penne, rotini or similar)
¼ cup feta cheese (vegan)
hot pepper flakes
2-4 leaves basil, cut into ribbons

INSTRUCTIONS

Slow Roasting the Tomatoes

Preheat oven to 325º F.
Slice tomatoes in half (cocktail, plum, roma, etc), place cut side up in a greased ovenproof pan.
Stir together the garlic, basil, olive oil, and optional oregano/za-atar in a small bowl.
Spoon mixture on each tomato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Flavor Option: Add a sprinkle of oregano or za'atar.
Bake for 2-3 hours or more (depending on size of tomatoes and how hot your oven runs) until withered and edges are browned. The larger the tomatoes, the longer they will roast.

Cooking the Pasta

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil.
Pro Tip: choose penne or rotini so the delicious garlicky bits of sauce and feta get caught in the crooks of the pasta.

NOTES

Feta Cheese - if you are looking for the most amazing vegan feta cheese recipe, check out my Greek Salad post (feta recipe included).

Tomatoes - I collect tomatoes in a container in the freezer until I have enough to make this recipe. If I have a few cocktail/romas tomatoes that aren't going to get used up, I freeze them for this recipe.

Leftovers & Storage - fantastic leftover! Store in the fridge in a container for a few days without any loss of flavor or texture.

Storing the Tomatoes - the slow roasted tomatoes can be stored on their own in the fridge in an airtight container for several weeks.
