August is that glorious month of never-ending tomatoes. There is nothing better to me than a big ripe tomato sliced on some toasted country bread, a slather of mayo, and a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt.
When you have an abundance of tomatoes sitting around, roasting is the best way to preserve them. Adding fresh herbs to the tomatoes elevates the flavor even more. If you don’t have fresh thyme, you can use any favorite herb of your choosing.
These will keep for up to a week in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for months.
