Oven Roasted Tomatoes

Oven roasted tomatoes are super easy to do, and bring out so much flavor! If your garden is overflowing, try roasting your tomatoes. Then you can add them to your pasta, a soup, or top a pizza with. Possibilities are endless!

Roasting vegetables in the oven is a wonderful way to add more flavor to them. I shared how to roast chiles,how to Oven Roast Asparagus., and Easy Roast Potatoes .This week, we’re oven roasting tomatoes.

In the past I have used a dehydrator to “sundry” tomatoes, especially when we had an excess of the garden variety. It was a great way to make use of the garden’s bounty. Linda at Gluten-Free Homemaker has found a great way to replicate this in the oven. Try her sun-dried tomatoes for a different texture than these.

Recently, tomatoes were on sale for $0.88. I told my husband to get “lots.” Well, “lots” is a relative term. He brought home two bags of them! Perfect time to experiment. I researched oven roasting tomatoes and came up with varied answers about the length of time these babies should spend in the oven. You go with what works for you.

Ingredients to make oven roasted tomatoes

  • Roma tomatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • Seasoning/Spices: I used a combination of salt, pepper, and dried thyme

How to roast tomatoes

  • Combine all ingredients and lay in a single layer on cookie sheet.
  • Bake in 225° F oven for three hours until wrinkled and “dry” looking. They won’t be completely dry, but there will be obvious moisture loss.

How long do I need to roast tomatoes in the oven for?

The key to make great oven roasted tomatoes is cooking them low and slow. I like to cook mine in a 225°F oven for 3 hours. This low and slow process really helps to make the best roasted tomatoes with tons of flavor.

What can I do with oven roasted tomatoes?

You can toss in salads, like one of these 35 Super Summer Salad Recipes to Help You Save. You could also add to a Marinara Sauce, or a Homemade Red Sauce with Meats.  Try topping a pizza using my Sourdough Pizza Crust. Or stir into a soup and make a wonderful tomato soup.
 

How long do oven roasted tomatoes last?

Oven roasted tomatoes will last in your fridge for up to 1-2 weeks. Or you can freeze them as well in a plastic bag for 4-6 months.

If you prepare this recipe, be sure to take a picture and hashtag it #GOODCHEAPEATS. I can't wait to see what you cook up!

    I am definitely going to give this a try! What is the best way to store them? Do they need to be refrigerated, or can you just keep them in the pantry like store bought sun dried tomatoes?

    They DEFINITELY need to be refrigerated or possibly frozen. I haven't tried freezing them; they didn't last that long. But, I have heard it would work.

    I am definitely going to try this. I love tomatoes and use tomatoes in a lot of dishes. I am going to see if I can can or jar these. If not I will freeze them in small portion sizes for future recipes. Thanks!

    have a row of cherry tomatoes, bell pepper and I had some celery that was getting ready to turn so I chopped most to freeze but I put some on the baking sheet too just to see what happens. Thanks for the post I never thought of roasting. This is going to save so many vegetables that would otherwise go bad before I could use them!
