*Tips on roasting tomatoes
You’ll need 8 plum tomatoes (1 1/2 pounds) and olive oil cooking spray. Preheat oven to 425° F. Cut each tomato in half, lengthwise, and place in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Roast for 30 minutes until the edges are soft and beginning to caramelize. Remove from the oven, and cool.
