Roasting could not be best categorised as fast food,
but it can be definitely called simple. The flavour that you’ll get
depends on how good those tomatoes were. Ideally vine-ripen or
oval-shaped romas would give you tomatoes bursting with sweetness.
I made these to be added as dressing for a clean, fast and fresh
flavoured vegetarian tagliatelle dinner. Good for when you’ve had
enough of complex french food or over-dressed restaurant chinese
cuisine.
Whole riped tomatoes, slit an ‘X’ across on each
A few sprigs fresh thyme
Extra virgin olive oil
Some chopped garlic
A generous pinch of sea salt
Arrange the tomatoes on a roasting plate.
Sprinkle garlic, thyme and salt.
Drizzle generously olive oil into each tomato.
Roast at 210C for about 30-40 minutes.
You can quarter the tomatoes when ready.
