Roasted Tomatoes

Summa summa summa time! It’s officially here!!

I’m just a liiiitle bit excited for my favorite season. Okay; I’m really excited. The best part? THE FOOD.

Summer food is just the best food. A few summers ago I grew tomatoes for the first time. I just happen to be the only person in my family who likes tomatoes. It’s so sad, isn’t it? How can a person not like tomatoes?

I had to figure out ways to eat up all the tomatoes I grew, and roasting them became a quick favorite. Roasted tomatoes are like heaven. Roasting them brings out their sweetness and concentrates the flavor. I easily eat a whole tray by myself. 

Enjoying them alone can be lonely, so I knew I had to share this simple, yet incredibly tasty recipe for roasted tomatoes with you.

If you’ve never tried roasted tomatoes, stop what you’re doing and try it! I’m telling you, they are amazing. Not overusing that word; they really are.

How Long Does it Take To Roast Tomatoes in the Oven? 

How long it takes to roast tomatoes in the oven depends on how much time you have. The longer you roast them the more they get that lovely caramelized color and intensified flavor. Slow roasting is nice, but if you’re in a hurry, you can crank up the heat and make the whole process faster.

Tomatoes Before Roasting

I find the happy medium for best flavor without taking too long to be roasting them at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes.

Ideas for Roasted Tomatoes

I love eating roasted tomatoes alone, straight from a bowl. There are so many ways you can use them, though, so let me share some ideas for your roasted tomatoes! Keep in mind that you can use bigger or smaller tomatoes for roasting. I’ve roasted almost every kind of tomato from roma to plum to grape to heirloom!

• Toss them with pasta
• Add them to a green salad
• Add your roasted tomatoes on top of a grilled chicken breast
• Use them to make soup
• Use them as a topping for pizza, flatbread, or bruschetta
• Add a grain and some greens for a delicious vegan bowl
