Remove the green stems from the tomatoes. Then scratch the bottom crosswise and place in boiling water for about 10-30 seconds (depending on the degree of ripeness). Then rinse in cold water, drain and peel off the skin with a kitchen knife. Quarter tomatoes, remove seeds and gelatin.
Preheat the oven to 100 ° C top / bottom heat (hot air: 80 ° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the tomatoes next to each other on the baking sheet with the peeled side up. Season with sea salt, pepper and sugar. Lightly mash the garlic with a knife. Cut the sprigs of herbs and add to the tomatoes together with the garlic. Drizzle everything with 3-4 tablespoons of oil. Cook in the oven for about 45-70 minutes (depending on the ripeness of the tomatoes and personal taste). The tomatoes should still be firm and juicy.
Remove the tomatoes from the baking tray while still warm and spread them out side by side on the work surface. Remove the herbs. Cover the tomatoes with foil, weigh them down with a board and leave to cool.
Then arrange the tomatoes on a platter. Slice or cut the parmesan into thin strips and spread over the tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with coarse pepper. Serve garnished with herbs if you like.
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
