Ingredients
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons harissa rose flavor
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
Tomato mix
- 1 pound tomato sliced in half (roughly 3 cups, mixed small, or more cherry tomatoes
- 1 pound cherry tomatoes kept whole (roughly 3 cups
- 5 prigs thyme fresh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for roasting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 360 °F.
- Mix the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the sliced tomatoes to the marinade, along with the fresh thyme.
- Spread the marinated tomato mix over the baking sheet. And top with the whole tomatoes. Drizzle over the last tablespoon of olive oil, and give the tray a shake to coat the tomatoes evenly.
- Place the tray in the top third of the oven for 30 to 40 minutes. The tomatoes are ready when the sauce bubbles and the sliced tomatoes start to fall apart. Some of the whole tomatoes will be plump and glossy, some will look wrinkly, and others may have burst.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Or freeze it for an emergency quick dinner sauce.
