Slow Roasted Grape Tomatoes

Grape tomatoes
Olive oil
Sea salt
Vanilla sugar
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F

Slice the tomatoes in 1/2 lengthwise and place them, cut-side up in a roasting pan lined with parchment paper or a Silpat. Sprinkle the tomato halves with sea salt and drizzle with olive oil.

Place pan on the middle shelf of your preheated 275 degree oven. About 1 and 1/2 hours in… sprinkle tomatoes with vanilla sugar.

Slow roast for an additional hour or so until the tomatoes are shriveled and caramelized. The excess moisture will have evaporated and the tomatoes will have a delicious concentrated flavor and aroma.
