Ingredients
4 large tomatoes, cored and sliced in thick wedges, 6 to 8 wedges per tomato
3 Tbsp (45 ml) za’atar (divided)
Kosher salt, to taste
¼ cup + 3 Tbsp (100 ml) extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 cups (500 ml) cooked white kidney, northern or cannellini beans. If using canned beans, make sure to drain and rinse well before using.

Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Lay the tomato wedges on the sheet pan and season with 1 ½ Tbsp of za’atar and a pinch of salt. Drizzle with 3 Tbsp olive oil. Roast the tomatoes until they are very soft and fragrant, about 40 minutes.
