Cherry Tomato Confit for 6 Servings

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Place the cherry tomatoes in a 9x13 inch baking dish in a single layer.
3. Scatter the smashed garlic cloves and fresh herb sprigs evenly among the tomatoes.
4. Pour the olive oil over the tomatoes, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
5. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
6. Bake for 60 minutes until the tomatoes look slightly slumped and jammy, with a few skins naturally splitting.
7. Remove the pan from the oven and let the tomatoes cool in the oil for at least 15 minutes to allow them to reabsorb the infused oil.
