2 pounds Roma Tomatoes, Cut In Half
1 whole Medium Yellow Onion, Quartered
5 cloves Garlic, Smashed
1 whole Carrot, Unpeeled And Chopped Into Large Pieces
2 teaspoons Kosher Salt, Plus More To Taste
1/4 teaspoons Dried Thyme
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper, Plus More To Taste
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3 whole Basil Leaves
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1/4 teaspoons Sugar

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
2
Line a baking sheet (with sides at least 1-inch deep) with parchment paper. Lay out the tomato halves (skin-side down), onion, garlic and carrot and sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme. Try to make this only one layer to allow for maximum roasting. Drizzle olive oil all over.
3
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the edges of the tomatoes and onions begin to turn black. Carefully transfer the roasted contents to a food processor or blender (or a large mixing bowl, if using a stick blender), add the basil leaves and pulse until smooth.
4
Transfer the pureed contents to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add unsalted butter and sugar and more salt or pepper, to taste.
5
Enjoy!

Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
