Slow Roasted Tomatoes

As you know I love tomatoes. I have shared recipes for soups, sauces and now I share with you one of my favorite side dishes, Slow Roasted Tomatoes aka little bites of heaven.These tomatoes are great served as a side dish or as an appetizer. Make some extras to have with some eggs for breakfast.

While this recipe does take a while in the oven, it will only take you 15 minutes of prep time and then let the oven do the work.
