Roasted Tomatoes
Adapted from Ina Garten

12 plum tomatoes
4 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and remove the cores and seeds.

Arrange the tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut sides up, in a single layer.
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle the garlic, sugar, salt and pepper over the tomatoes.

Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are concentrated and beginning to caramelize. Serve warm or at room temperature.
