- Put the tomatoes cut side up on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic granules, onion flakes and oregano. Bake for 15 minutes. Then sprinkle with the basil, chives, parsley and tarragon and bake for 2 more minutes.

CHEF’S NOTES
For the best results, chop the fresh herbs just before sprinkling them over the tomatoes.
For a more refined preparation, remove the skins from the tomatoes before serving. The skins should come right off the roasted tomatoes, but be careful not to let the herbs fall off when removing the tomato skins.
