Ingredients

12 ripe plum tomatoes, washed, dried and halved lengthwise

2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided use)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

1 Tablespoon minced garlic

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 F.

Line a large baking sheet with foil.

Place the tomatoes on the sheet, cut-side up.

Drizzle with 1 Tablespoon of the oil and season with salt and pepper.

Roast for 1 hour, or until the tomatoes are shriveled and beginning to brown on the bottom.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the remaining oil, parsley, thyme and garlic. Remove the tomatoes from the oven and sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the top.

Return to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the herbs are just beginning to brown.

Makes 24 tomato halves.

Makes about 4 to 6 servings --depending on your appetite!

-Add them to a sandwich instead of using a high-fat spread such as mayonnaise.

-Puree them with their skins to make an intense pasta or pizza sauce.

-Chop them and add some fresh herbs to make a salsa for grilled chicken or fish.

-Top a pizza with them, along with some fresh basil, roasted peppers and part-skim mozzarella.
