Candied Tomato Margherita Pizza

Ingredients
  

for the candied tomatoes:

  • 4 roma tomatoes sliced thick
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

for the Margherita pizza:

  • 1 pizza crust store bought or homemade
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese you can use more or less depending on your preference
  • fresh basil roughly chopped

Instructions
 

for the candied tomatoes:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pour the brown sugar into a medium sized bowl. Start with about 1/4 cup and add more as you go.
  • Coat the tomatoes in the sugar on both sides. Lay the tomato slices on the cookie sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast the tomatoes for about 30 - 45 minutes, then turn the tomatoes over. Continue to cook for about 15 minutes more. You want the tomatoes to start to caramelize and turn an amber color.
  • Remove and allow to cool a bit. Peel off the parchment and top your pizza

for the Margherita pizza:

  • Brush the olive oil over the crust. Top with the candied tomatoes, fresh basil & mozzarella cheese.
  • Prepare your pizza crust based on the package directions if you are using store bought or the recipe instructions if using homemade.
  • Slice & serve hot! But it's also awesome the next day cold :)
