Ingredients

• 2 pounds Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
2. Arrange tomatoes, cut-side up, in a shallow baking dish; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic, oregano, sugar, and salt evenly on top.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
4. Turn tomatoes over and continue baking until caramelized and very soft, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
