Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drain the canned whole peeled tomatoes, reserving the liquid in case it is needed later.
Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them cut-side up on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Drizzle the tomatoes evenly with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and the optional crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Scatter the sliced garlic over the tomatoes.
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges of the tomatoes caramelize and the garlic becomes golden and fragrant.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the tomatoes cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted tomatoes to a serving dish or use them immediately in your desired recipe. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil for a burst of freshness.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
