your roasting pan is deep enough that the juices won’t spill over as it starts to
cook and break down in the oven.
3. Add your onions and garlic on top of the tomatoes, dispersing them across
the pan evenly.
4. Finally, sprinkle the sugar over top the mixture and drizzle your olive oil on
top. Add a generous amount of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5. Roast in the oven for about two hours, mixing halfway through to prevent
burning.
