Can you tell I love tomatoes? One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is Oven Roasted. The flavor is so concentrated and smoky, and great for making sauces, pizzas, tossed in pasta or salads…so many uses.  Also, very easy to make. I like to use locally grown Hamakua Cocktail Tomatoes when I roast tomatoes. These are smaller than regular tomatoes and larger than cherry or grape tomatoes, just about the size of a golf ball.

Oven Roasted Tomatoes

2 clamshells, (2 pounds) Cocktail Tomatoes
Kosher Salt
Olive Oil
8 cloves garlic

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Slice tomatoes in half vertically from top to bottom. Arrange seed side up on a lined sheet pan.

Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt.

Smash garlic cloves, and roughly chop. Drizzle garlic with olive oil. Toss garlic on top of tomatoes.

Bake for 45 minutes.
