Fire Roasted Tomatoes

Fire roasted tomatoes have an amazing smoky, umami taste that adds so much more to a dish than regular canned tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Roma tomatoes halved lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt depending on preference
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven or grill to 450F degrees.
  • Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise.
  • Place them in a bowl and add the olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to fully coat the tomatoes.

Oven Instructions:

  • Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet, sliced side up, and roast for 40-45 minutes.

Grill Instructions:

  • Place the tomatoes on a clean, oiled grill, sliced side up, and grill for about 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove and eat right away or pack in olive oil in jars and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  1. You can use any kind of tomato in this recipe. I use Roma because they are cheaper and more abundant at the store.
  2. You can also use canned whole tomatoes in this recipe if you do not have fresh.
  3. If you use the grill to cook them, make sure you oil the grill grates to prevent the tomatoes from sticking.
  4. If you roast them in the oven, line your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
  5. You can try this with other vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, peppers, and squash.
