Roasted Tomatoes

Roasting tomatoes in this manner caramelizes them, enriching their flavor. These tomatoes can be used in sauces, soups, to top bruschetta or even on salads.

Use fresh, ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. You can use all red or a mixture of both red and yellow tomatoes, and plum tomatoes and cherry tomatoes both work really well.

Buon Appetito!

  1. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Since I have a bumper crop of tomatoes this year, can that’s be saved, frozen or stored in olive oil or otherwise preserved for eating later?
