Tomates asados a la llama

Ingredientes

• 2 pounds roma tomatoes (cut in half lengthwise)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparación

1. 1

   Move one oven rack to the highest position.

2. 2

   Preheat the broiler to high, 500℉.

3. 3

   Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a broiler safe rack inside.

4. 4

   Arrange halved tomatoes evenly on the rack, cut side up on. Brush each tomato half with olive oil using a silicone or pastry brush; season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Place the baking sheet on the highest oven rack and bake broil 15 to 20 minutes. Check tomatoes at the 10-minute mark to determine the remaining time needed. You don’t want to completely burn the tomatoes, but leave them slightly charred.

6. 6

   When the tomatoes are done to your liking, remove the baking sheet and set aside until the tomatoes are cool enough to handle.

7. 7

   Peel the skin off each tomato half (it should come off easily - recipe note #2). Chop tomatoes (if desired) and use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
