Ingredients

750g ripe vine-ripened or plum tomatoes
A little olive oil for greasing
1½ tsp Maldon sea salt flakes

Method

Preheat the oven to 240°C/fan220°C/gas 9. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthways through the stalk end and place cut-side up in a lightly oiled shallow roasting tin. Sprinkle over the sea salt and grind over some black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven to 150°C/fan130°C/gas 2 and roast for 1¼-1½ hours more, depending on their size, until they have shrunk by about half but are still slightly juicy in the centre.
Remove and leave to cool. You can store the oven-dried tomatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
