For an enhanced depth of flavor, consider using aged balsamic vinegar. If salted mozzarella is unavailable, adjust the seasoning accordingly. Roasting time may vary depending on the size and moisture content of the tomatoes; check for desired caramelization and consistency. Feel free to add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepArrange the tomato halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle evenly with minced garlic, sugar, sea salt, and ground black pepper. (10 minutes)
03
StepRoast the tomatoes in the preheated oven until they begin to caramelize and the juices reduce into a thick, sticky consistency, approximately 2 hours. Allow the roasted tomatoes to cool to room temperature. (130 minutes)

StepArrange alternating slices of mozzarella cheese and roasted tomato halves on a serving platter to create an appealing pattern. Sprinkle the chiffonade of basil evenly over the salad. Finally, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar, or to taste. Serve immediately. (10 minutes)

Nov 28, 2024Be careful not to over-roast the tomatoes; they should still hold their shape.
