  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine all tomatoes, garlic, chicken broth, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a large, glass baking dish; toss to coat.
  • Roast in the middle of the preheated oven, stirring regularly, until tomatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.
