Oven-Roasted Preserved Tomatoes for Winter (No Vinegar, No Water Needed)

  1. Prepare the Tomatoes: Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the stem area, then slice them into wedges.

  2. Roast: Place the wedges on parchment-lined baking trays. Season with salt, thyme, and rosemary. Roast at 200°C (392°F) for 1 hour.

  3. Prepare Garlic: While the tomatoes roast, soak garlic cloves to loosen the skins, peel, and finely chop.

  4. Sterilize Jars: Wash and dry 600 ml jars thoroughly.

  5. Layer and Fill: Place garlic, thyme, and rosemary at the bottom of each jar. Add roasted tomatoes in layers, sprinkling more garlic and herbs in between.

  6. Seal: Pour 30 ml olive oil into each jar, making sure the tomatoes are covered. Seal tightly with lids.

  7. Rest: Turn jars upside down for 10 hours. Then flip upright and store in a cool, dry place.
