Time 3h30m

Yield About 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 large cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
10 basil leaves, torn
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Take a sheet pan large enough to hold tomatoes in a single layer and line it with parchment paper. Arrange tomatoes, cut side up, in pan.
  • Heat oil in heavy skillet. Add onion and cook over low heat until tender but not brown. Stir in garlic, cook a few minutes longer, and then remove from heat.
  • Scatter onion and garlic over tomatoes along with pepper flakes, basil, sugar and salt. Place in oven and roast uncovered about 3 hours, until tomatoes are cooked but hold their shapes. Allow tomatoes to cool, slip off skins, then use in recipes or freeze in containers for future use.
