Oven Roasted Tomatoes and Flowers

I put this recipe in once before but for those of you that did not see it here it is again. This takes the worst supermarket tomatoes and makes them taste spectacular. You can use these on pizza, sandwiches, chopped up in salsa....any way you would use fresh tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes in half and cut the stem end out.


Place them cut side up in a muffin pan.

Drizzle them with olive oil.


Sprinkle with dried thyme, oregano, salt and pepper or use any other spices you might like. Then place in a 200 degree oven for 3-4 hours until they look like.....
