Paleo Roasted Tomato Compote with Garlic & Herbs

Slow-roasted cherry tomatoes have a way of transforming into something almost magical — deeply caramelized, jammy, and rich with concentrated flavor. This compote leans into that transformation with smashed garlic, dried oregano, a pinch of turmeric, and a whisper of red pepper flakes that build a genuinely complex, savory base. A small drizzle of honey at the end rounds out the acidity without tipping into sweetness, and torn fresh basil keeps everything bright and aromatic. Every ingredient here is clean and whole-food, which means it fits naturally into a grain-free, legume-free way of eating without any substitutions or workarounds. The technique is almost entirely hands-off — you just toss everything on a sheet pan, let the oven do the heavy lifting for the better part of an hour, and then roughly crush it all together into a thick, rustic spread. Serve it warm over grilled chicken or fish, spoon it onto roasted vegetables, or eat it straight with a fork because honestly it's that good.
