##INSTRUCTIONS## **For tomatoes** 1. Preheat oven to 250°F. 2. Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and lay them flesh side up on the rack. 3. Drizzle each tomato with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and season with thyme and salt. 4. Roast for approximately 2 1/2 hours.
