Ingredients

  • 1 pint grape tomatoes (10-12 ounces), halved
  • 1/3 cup shallot (2 small) sliced thin
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dry Italian herb blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Toss the tomatoes, shallots, and garlic with the oil, dry herbs, the salt, and pepper to coat.
  • Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined pan and roast for 20 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered and the shallots are soft and browned in spots. Remove from the oven and cool.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes if using right away. Otherwise, cool completely and transfer to an airtight container, and cover with additional oil to refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

Ways to enjoy this savory condiment:
  • Quick pasta sauces – mash into hot noodles with a bit of pasta water and Parmesan
  • Scrambled eggs or frittatas – stir into eggs before cooking
  • Soup bases – mash with a fork and stir into chunky soups like this Sausage & Split Pea Stew or puree into creamy soups like our Butternut Squash Bisque
  • Sandwiches or wraps – chop and spread it on bread or tortillas like mayonnaise
  • Grain bowls or roasted veggies – use as a topping or Mince and stir into Ranch Dressing for an added twist
  • Garnish dips like Savory Whipped Ricotta & Feta Dip, or Easy Homemade Hummus
  • Mix with goat cheese to create a stuffing for chicken
  • Flatbreads or pizza – blend with pizza sauce or layer under cheese on pizzas
  • Cheese boards – serve as a savory-sweet condiment with a Charcuterie board
  • Substitute in any recipe that calls for sun-dried tomatoes
