Garlic Roasted Tomatoes

Here is one more way to enjoy tomatoes this season! I was watching one of my favorite cooking shows, Epicurious' home chef vs. professional chef, where the two swap ingredients and try to make the other's dish -- without a detailed recipe!

This roasted tomato dish is originally inspired by chef Frank Proto's roasted tomatoes for use in a mozzarella and roasted tomato grilled cheese sandwich. But to my knowledge, the 'recipe' isn't written down anywhere. So that is what I have done.

Really what is presented here is more of a method to roast tomatoes that you can tune and use in a wide variety other dishes. Roasting removes some moisture, caramelizes the sugars, and gives the tomatoes a luscious jammy texture.

I served mine on italian bread with a little fresh mozzarella. It would work just as well on pasta with a little parmesan, or zucchini noodles for low carb diets.

Chef's note: Chef Frank uses a very expensive imported EVOO, but I get mine from Gardner Groves Family Farms at the East Franklin Farmers Market. It's very good!
