Step 1

Preheat your wood fired oven to around 225-300° F.

Step 2

Arrange tomatoes cut side up in a pan, sizzle platter, or on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Place sprigs of thyme on top of tomatoes. Drizzle with a good amount of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Roast for 3-4 hours, until tomatoes are shriveled but still soft. Rotate the pan several times to cook the tomatoes evenly.
