Grease a baking tray or pan with oil (without holes) .

Rub all over the tomatoes with oil and dried basil leaves( if you are using fresh basil leaves do not add them yet).

Season them with the pinch of salt and put the tomatoes in the tray.

Put in the middle of the oven and let it cook for 7 minutes.

Move the tomatoes in the tray a bit and now put on the fresh basil if you are using it.

Let it cook for 5 minutes more and the tomatoes should be done. (they can be left in the oven for softer tomatoes).
