  • Amazing! A simple, but hard dish to nail. This one has the temperature and the timing just right.

  • Wow, this is really delicious! Very satisfying warm and cold. I halved the lentils, used only 2 T of oil and vinegar, and used turkey kielbasa so my version is only 380 cals a serving (39 g carbs, 14 g fiber). Also used homemade vegetable broth to cook the lentils. I will definitely make this again, as is and in various permutations .

  • I made these today using Campary tomatoes, as a side for a poultry dish. Followed the ingredient list closely, but used lemon-infused olive oil to drizzle for a little extra something. It worked beautifully to help balance the tomatoes' sweetness, which is emphasized through the roasting process.

  • Delicious! Easy! I did not oil the pan, I simply drizzled olive over them. I crumbled feta over them after they came out of the oven; so yummy!

  • Have always been a BIG fan of roasted tomatoes, and decided it was time to make them myself. They have now been in the oven for 2 hours and are not nearly done. I think the 3 to 5 hours suggested in other recipes is more realistic if you want that chewy intensely flavored endproduct.

  • Super easy. Super delicious. I also roasted two whole heads of garlic while I roasted the tomatoes because you might as well.
