20 ozs grape or cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp thyme I like using fresh thyme but you can also use dry. Using fresh thyme adds to prep time as you have to remove the small leaves one by one from the stem.
2 tbsps olive oil extra virgin
4 garlic cloves
1 tsp Mediterranean sea salt adjust to taste
0.5 tsp freshly cracked black pepper adjust to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash and drain tomatoes. Cut them in half and add them to baking dish. I prefer using a baking dish that has some depth, that way I can mix and bake in the same dish without dirtying an additional bowl.
Add thyme, olive oil, minced garlic and give it a good mix with a wooden spoon. Continue by adding salt and pepper.
Bake for about 20 minutes! Let tomatoes cool down then you can spoon them over ricotta toast, pasta, chicken or even fish. Store leftovers in a jar with a lid or airtight container.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for few days.
If you have your own garden and produce lots of tomatoes, you can bake a big batch then blend into a sauce. Store in sterilized jars and use in pastas.
