Instructions
- Preheat oven to 100c.
- Place cherry tomatoes in a baking dish in a single layer, along with rosemary, thyme and garlic (cut side up).
- Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then pour olive oil over tomatoes and garlic.
- Make sure everything has been coated in the oil, turn garlic halves cut side down, then place in the oven to bake.
- Bake (uncovered) for 1 hr 45 minutes - 2 hrs, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly wrinkled (some will have burst) - they will collapse a little as they cool in the oil.
- Allow tomatoes to cool in the oil, then place them (and the oil) in an airtight container and refrigerate, adding more olive oil (if needed) to cover the tomatoes.
Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- My baking dish is 20cm x 26cm and the tomatoes and garlic fit pretty snugly in a single layer which is what you want.
- The olive oil doesn't need to completely cover the top of everything to bake - if some of the tomatoes are poking out the top that's fine.
- Some of the tomatoes will split as they swell a little, and some will wrinkle slightly towards the end of the cooking time. This is normal - once they start to cool they will wrinkle a bit more too.
- You can leave the stems on the tomatoes or take them off, it's up to you.
- I bake this with the garlic halves cut side down, so the exposed part of the clove is completely submerged in oil for maximum flavour.
