Ingredients

  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh thyme, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cherry tomatoes cut side up on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme, if using.
  3. Roast the tomatoes until they’re well shriveled around the edges, 2 to 3 hours. The time will vary depending on the size and water content of your tomatoes.

Notes

  • Notes
  • Note: to speed up the process, I often turn up my oven to 300 or 350 halfway through the roasting time. This allows the tomatoes to begin to dehydrate and then continue to roast. Too high of a temperature too early will cause them to burst instead of shrivel.
