Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220°C / 428°F.
Wash and slice the tomatoes in half and place onto a sheet pan (roasting tray). If you are using cherry tomatoes, leave them whole.
Drizze olive oil and sprinkle salt and fresh thyme over the tomatoes and use your hands to get everything nicely combined. Place the tomatoes a good distance apart facing up (the cut side up). This is where you can add the balsamic vinegar and garlic if you are using them.
Roast larger tomatoes for 30 minutes and cherry tomatoes for 20 minutes or until they have slight charred edges and turn wrinkly and juicy.
Serve warm with sea salt, fresh thyme or basil and black pepper. Serve the tomatoes on their own, with bread, salad, pasta, couscous, vegetables etc.
