Easy Oven-Roasted Tomato Sauce

By erinp

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh tomatoes
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced onions
• 2 cloves smashed garlic
• 5 thyme sprigs
• Olive oil to drizzle
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Halve small tomatoes. Quarter large tomatoes. Arrange the tomatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Scatter sliced onions over the pan. Nestle the thyme springs among the tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, depending on how cooked you would like your tomatoes.

Remove pan from oven. Discard thyme sprigs. Allow tomatoes to cool slightly. Using a blender, food processor or food mill, blend the tomatoes until they liquified (as chunky or as smooth as you would prefer).
