Oven-Roasted Tomatoes

4-8 Roma Tomatoes, halved
Drizzle EVO oil
to taste Kosher Salt
to taste Ground Pepper

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut tomatoes in half, toss with EVO oil to coat, add salt and pepper, and place, cut-side down, on a baking sheet. Roast for 1-1/2 hours, until the tomatoes are soft and have just begun to exude their juices. Cool, remove the skins, and pack into a container. These are delicious tossed with roasted or grilled vegetables, in soups, and with simple pastas and risottos. They keep for several days, refrigerated.
