Oven Roasted Tomatoes

"The flavor of Oven Roasted Tomatoes is incredible. The roasting brings out a slight sweetness in the tomatoes along with a roasted flavor. In past years we’ve eaten our tomatoes from the garden in salads while they were in season, or froze and canned them for the winter. Not once did I ever think of roasting them. I could just kick myself in the beee-hind for that! Especially since it was so easy to do. I quartered about 6 tomatoes and placed them in a cast iron skillet, you can also use a baking dish. They were drizzled with olive oil, salt and peppered and then had a Teaspoon of garlic powder sprinkled on them to boot. Since we had an extremely hot day today and the air conditioner was already working overtime, I decided to use my toaster oven to roast them. You can also use a convection oven or a regular oven. PERFECT! The flavor was incredible. The roasting brings out a slight sweetness in the tomatoes along with a roasted flavor. I served them with fresh basil from the garden. What a lovely side dish they made. "
