Steps:
- For the balsamic vinaigrette: Combine the vinegar, mustard, honey and salt and pepper to taste. Stir with a whisk or fork, then drizzle in oil, whisking constantly, until combined.
- For the roasted tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and spread out the tomatoes evenly to ensure a proper roast on each. Sprinkle the dried basil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and Italian seasoning over the tomatoes, making certain that each tomato is well seasoned. Drizzle 1/4 cup vinaigrette over the tomatoes, making sure not to over-coat the tomatoes.
- Roast the tomatoes 45 minutes. (This is a fast roast, not an oven-dried tomato. Do not flip or shake the pan. The tomatoes will caramelize slightly on the top and the bottoms will remain juicy.) Turn the oven off and let sit in the oven 15 additional minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300*F. Spread out the tomatoes in a large shallow pan (a sheet pan is ideal) and sprinkle with the other ingredients, turning to coat them with oil. Bake 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours, basting and turning the tomatoes several times. They're done when their color deepens to dark scarlet and they taste mellow and very rich. Don't let them brown, and don't allow the garlic to brown, it'll turn bitter.
- Transfer the tomatoes and their oil to a glass or china bowl. Let them mellow at room temperature up to 6 hours. The flavors will ripen in this time.
- Refrigerate the tomatoes up to 4 days, or freeze up to 3 months. Serve the tomatoes at room temperature, or tossed with hot pasta.

OVEN ROASTED TOMATOES
I was afraid we were not going to have enough of these to make the piadinas, because I kept eating them off of the baking sheet!! They are perfect, and cherry tomatoes will work for this also. The yield is a guess. **NOTE: I have made these with cherry tomatoes here at home and found that the temp of the oven should be 275º-300ºF. At 350ºF they will burn because they are so much smaller.
