Roasted Tomatoes - Ina Fridays

I know, we are not alone in having an abundance of tomatoes from our garden. Many of us have this terrific problem. For a foodie, this is a challenge and what we do with the tomatoes is the game. Since we are doing on side dishes from Ina Garten, this month, what better crop to use than tomatoes.

I chose this roasted tomato because of our love for roasted vegetables. It would seem than any roasted vegetable is better than the original. With some balsamic and something sweet added, this was a joy to eat.

Ingredients:

Method:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Arrange the tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut sides up, in a single layer.

Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Sprinkle the garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper over the tomatoes.

Spray tops with olive oil.

Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are concentrated and beginning to caramelize.

Serve warm or at room temperature. (We liked it warm.)

Eat and enjoy.

This was quick, easy and delicious. The tomatoes which already have a rich flavor were more flavorful with the caramelization. This was a hit with everyone at the table.

I served this with breaded chicken and broccoli kugel.
