Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 small red and/or yellow sweet peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 of a medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, sweet peppers, onion wedges, and garlic. Add oil, kosher salt, and black pepper; toss to coat. Transfer tomato mixture to a foil-lined shallow roasting pan.
Roast for 35 to 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender and slightly charred on the edges, stirring twice. Cool slightly on a wire rack.
Transfer tomato mixture to a food processor. Cover and pulse with several on-off turns until tomato mixture is chopped but still slightly chunky. Stir in balsamic vinegar and thyme. Stir in basil just before serving.
