Roasted Tomatoes

My sister turned me on to this.  She makes hers with a little balsamic vinegarette.  The uses are endless.  I served it on toasted bread, like bruschetta. You can also use it for pizza or pasta.  Add some diced kalamata olives for an extra pop.

2 pints grape tomatoes
5 cloves garlic, diced
1 T fresh thyme leaves
olive oil
salt

Arrange tomatoes in a single layer in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.  Add garlic and thyme.  Drizzle liberally with olive oil.  Roast for 45 minutes in a 375 degree oven, stirring several times.  Add a little more olive oil and raise oven to 400.  Roast until starting to brown, but don't burn.

Toasted bread:  Drizzle with olive oil and rub with garlic, if desired.  Place bread on a cookie sheet lined with foil about 6 inches from the flame.  Watch carefully, removing toast and rearranging, as necessary.
