Step 1

Add Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1 cup) , Garlic (1 clove) , and Fresh Thyme (1/2 Tbsp) in a measuring cup. Give that a good stir so everything mixes together. Set them aside.

Step 2

Prepare Roma Tomatoes (8) . Cut the end off with the stem.

Step 3

Slice in half lengthwise then simply use a teaspoon to get rid of the seeds and the watery bit from the center of the tomatoes. Then we can arrange tomatoes onto a baking tray lined with some aluminium foil.

Step 4

Pour our herby olive oil mixture over each of the tomatoes. Season generously with some Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) .

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 100 degrees C (210 degrees F).

Step 6

Put those tomatoes initially in the oven for an hour and a half and check on them to see how they look if they need to dry a bit more, you can put them in for half an hour or so and check them again.

Step 7

Transfer them into an airtight container. They can store in fridge for up to a week or you can freeze them for up to three months. You can chop those sun-dried tomatoes up, add them to pizza. Toss them through pasta. You can add them to sauce. You can also have them as snacks.
