I make tomatoes like these a few times a year, but I've always baked them at 250. I'll have to try the higher temp. Did you know that if you remove the seeds and goop surronding them with a spoon, they'll cook faster? I read somewhere that there is no nutrition in the seeds and goop.
These are killer-delicious on a pizza instead of the usual tomato sauce.
Claire, thanks so much for commenting.
I did know that about the seeds and "goop" (I love that term) but I guess I'm one of those strange people who actually likes the seeds and goop.
My favourite way to use roasted tomatoes is on grilled French or Italian bread spread with roasted garlic, warm goat cheese and topped with the roasted tomatoes.

I am so excited to make these. I just came back from market yesterday with 5 lbs. of romas for 5$. This will be my party dish for sure-
