{companions} roasted tomatoes

photo by ann west

This recipe is by far one of my all time favorites. I use these tomatoes so many different ways. As a yummy side for a brunch, to accompany steak, even to spread on a baguette with goat cheese. They are so divine. The longer you roast them the more caramelized & sweet they become. I like to roast them longer to accompany steak and as a spread, however when I served them for a brunch I like them to pop in my mouth so a shorter time will do. Either way they are the best!
