• 5 drizzle some olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic cloves. make sure the cloves are well coated with the olive oil (you may need to pick up the cloves and rub them with the olive oil).
• 6 sprinkle the thyme over the tomatoes and garlic, followed by a bit of kosher salt. next coat the tomatoes and garlic with a few grinds of black pepper.
