Slow Roasted Tomatoes

If Garlic Roasted Cauliflower is my best vegetable surprise ever, this one is second best.  My sister served this at a baby shower.  We plated the luncheon and the tomatoes added beautiful color and tasted out of this world.  I had never liked baked tomatoes before.  But these are spectacular.  You really need to give them a try!
