P.S. Just made a batch of oven-dried cherry tomatoes, same idea, longer in the oven, roast w/garlic and herbs, no crumbs/cheese. Each morsel is like a kick of major pizza flavor in your mouth! Willy Wonka should have been so clever.

P.P.S. I let the halved tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, herbs, s&p sit in a bowl together while waiting for oven space to open up. When I’d finished putting the ‘maters on the pan, the juices left over in the bowl were like the MOST divine salad dressing I’d ever tasted! That was an accident, but one that went into an empty jar for my salad later :). Why has this never occurred to me? Ripe tomato juice is a perfect blend of sweet and acid for adding to dressings like that.
