In the summer months, when tomatoes are sweet and flavoursome, this makes a great snack any time. Plum tomatoes are the best ones to use preferably those that are vine-ripened in the sun because they keep their shape when roasted.
Ingredients
- 12 plum tomatoes
- 4 garlic cloves
- 75 ml olive oil
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme
- salt and black pepper
To Serve
- 4 thick slices white sourdough bread

How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 140°C. Halve the tomatoes lengthways.

- Lay them out cut-side up on a baking sheet. Roast for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt.
- Toast the bread.
- Place 6 tomato halves on each piece of toast and drizzle a little more olive oil over the top.
