Quick Oven Roasted Tomatoes Recipe
This Quick Oven Roasted Tomatoes recipe highlights halved Campari tomatoes tossed with garlic, fresh thyme, sumac, and Aleppo pepper before roasting at high heat. The tomatoes collapse and concentrate their flavors, resulting in tender, slightly caramelized pieces with a balance of savory, tangy, and mildly spicy notes. Optional crumbled feta adds creaminess and saltiness for serving.

Ingredients
- 2 lb tomatoes halved (I used Campari tomatoes, smaller
- 2 to 3 garlic minced, cloves
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- 2 tsp thyme stems removed, fresh
- 1 tsp sumac
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes I used Aleppo Pepper which is milder, dry
- extra virgin olive oil I used Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil
- feta cheese optional, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place the tomato halves in a large mixing bowl. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, fresh thyme, and spices. Drizzle a generous amount, about 1/4 cup or more, quality extra virgin olive. Toss to coat.
- Transfer the tomatoes to a baking sheet with a rim. Spread the tomatoes in one single layer, flesh side up.
- Roast in your heated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the tomatoes have collapsed to your desired doneness.
- Remove from heat. If you are planning to serve it soon, feel free to garnish with more fresh thyme and a few sprinkles of feta cheese. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes
- Use medium-small tomatoes like Campari or Roma; avoid large steak tomatoes unless cut smaller.
- For smaller tomatoes (cherry or grape), roast whole at 400°F to prevent overcooking.
- To store leftovers, cool to room temperature and refrigerate in a sealed container for 3–5 days without feta.
- Roasted tomatoes freeze well for up to 4 months; thaw overnight in fridge before use.
- Do not add feta cheese if storing leftovers as it does not freeze or refrigerate well.
