Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Halve 1 pound of Roma tomatoes and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tomatoes generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
