Oven-Roasted Sweet and Tangy Tomato Snack

Ingredients

- 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (preferably balsamic)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tomatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. This ensures even roasting and maximum flavor absorption.

2. Season the Tomatoes:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and sugar.
- Gently toss the tomatoes ensuring each slice is evenly coated with the mixture. This combination balances out the sweetness and tanginess, making a delightful snack.

3. Arrange Tomatoes for Roasting:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Lay the seasoned tomato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap. This arrangement allows for uniform roasting.

4. Roast the Tomatoes:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 45 minutes (PT45M), until the tomatoes are shriveled at the edges and caramelized on top. Keep an eye on them during the last 5-10 minutes to avoid burning.

5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
- They’re perfect enjoyed on their own or can be served as a topping on crusty bread.
