Slow-Roasted Tomato CrostiniLisa Hubbard

With months to go before the summer tomato season, we've found that slow-roasting brings out the flavor of winter plum tomatoes.

Cooks' notes:

• Tomatoes and garlic paste can be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before proceeding.

• Toasts can be baked 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

• Heat assembled crostini in a 350°F oven before serving if components are made ahead.
