Italian Roasted Tomatoes - Conquer the Crave

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

6 Italian plum tomatoes (the egg-shaped ones)
olive oil spray
Italian seasoning blend
sea salt

Instructions:

Cut each tomato in half. Place the halves in an oven-proof pan.

Spray lightly with olive oil. Season with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning and a grate of sea salt.

Roast in the oven at 450 degrees for between 15 minutes and 45 minutes.

The ones in the picture were roasted for 30 minutes. The longer you roast them the sweeter tasting they become. The longer you roast them the more likely the edges will blacken. This is actually a good thing. The tomatoes caramelize and get really sweet as they begin to blacken.

Let sit for a while before serving our you’ll burn your mouth.

These go with any grilled meat or fish. Or any Italian meal as a side dish, like the chicken scallopini.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
