Arrange the tomatoes on an oven tray, cut side up. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and drizzle with a little olive oil. Season and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar. Roast for 1 hour.
Brush the sourdough with a little olive oil and grill or toast until golden. Rub one side of the hot toast with the clove of garlic.
