Oven roasted tomatoes

You know those nights where do you don't really want to do much in the kitchen? Well this dish is great for a night like that. These go good with anything really, fish, chicken, beef or pasta. They are a cinch to do but, think ahead because these spend over an hour in the oven.

4 Roma tomatoes
Garlic salt
Dried Oregano
Dried Thyme
Freshly ground pepper
Olive oil
Parmesan cheese (optional )

Directions
Preheat oven to 400



Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise and place in an oven safe baking dish.



Drizzle some olive oil over the tomatoes and then add the garlic salt, oregano, thyme and fresh pepper. These are your tomatoes use as much or as little spices as you want. Heck you could even add some crushed red pepper or use fresh herbs instead.


Place in oven on middle rack and cook for 1 hour. After the hour, sprinkle on some parmesan cheese and place back in the oven for another 15 minutes. If you don’t like cheese then just omit this step but continue to cook for another 15 minutes.
