Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the tomatoes, oil, and thyme in a medium bowl. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and toss again.
  • Spread the tomatoes in a single layer and cook until the tomatoes are softened and collapsed and beginning to shrivel, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before storing.

Notes

  • Scaling the recipe--You can make this with as few or as many tomatoes as you like. Simply use 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon thyme for each cup of tomatoes and don't crowd them on the baking sheet. If they won't fit on one, divide the tomatoes between two sheets.
  • Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets.
