Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325ºF (165ºC.)

Step 2

Pour the olive oil into a shallow baking dish or pan and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper.

Step 3

Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally, then use a sharp knife to remove the stems, if you wish. Toss the tomatoes with the oil and seasonings, then lay them cut side down in the dish.

Step 4

Bake until the tomatoes are completely softened and wilted, and start to wrinkle. Depending on the tomatoes, they'll take between 1 to 2 hours to cook.
