Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (around 400°F).
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly.

- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the roasted tomatoes to cool slightly.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh tomatoes for optimal flavor and sweetness.
- To enhance the flavor, roast the tomatoes and garlic until they have a slight char.

- Adjust the seasonings to your taste; adding a pinch of salt, pepper, or a splash of balsamic vinegar can bring out more depth in the sauce.
