Serve this Oven Roasted Tomatoes recipe as a side dish, appetizer, salad, or a perfect lunch on top of pasta with pine nuts, mozzarella, and fresh basil! Roasted Tomatoes are sweet, juicy, and perfectly accented with garlic, olive oil, and a splash of balsamic vinegar.

Roasted Tomato Pasta

One of my favorite things about summertime is the fresh fruits and vegetables that come along with it. Green beans, corn on the cob, fresh tomatoes. It’s all delicious!

I love super sweet cherry tomatoes. They’re perfect for topping salads with, but my favorite way to eat them is out-of-hand, just like candy. But what happens when you buy too many tomatoes and they’ve been sitting around for a week or so? Or when they’re not quite in season and aren’t really all that flavorful?

That’s easy – make Roasted Tomatoes!

The really great thing about making Roasted Tomatoes is that you don’t need tomatoes that are at their peak in terms of freshness or flavor. This is because roasting enhances the flavor of tomatoes. It pulls out their natural sweetness and concentrates their tomato flavor.

Tips for Making Roasted Tomatoes

  • Use a really good-quality balsamic vinegar in this recipe because the flavor will concentrate as it cooks.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary, thyme, or oregano during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Don’t forget to stir the tomatoes a couple times during the cooking process. This helps make sure the garlic doesn’t burn.

Roasted Tomatoes FAQs

Do You Peel Tomatoes Before Roasting?

It depends on the recipe! This Roasted Tomatoes Recipe uses small tomatoes, such as cherry or grape tomatoes, so there’s no need to peel the tomatoes before roasting.

Can I Roast Canned Diced Tomatoes?

Yes! In a pinch you can roast canned diced tomatoes.

To do so, preheat the oven to 350F. Drain the canned diced tomatoes. Spread them out onto a large (rimmed) baking tray. Add a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until they start to caramelize, about 1 hour to 1 hour, 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

What Can I do With Roasted Cherry Tomatoes?

  • Serve them on top of hummus.
  • Add them to a burger instead of ketchup.
  • Make them into Chicken Caprese.
  • Add them to an omelet along with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
  • Serve them as bruschetta on toasted bread rounds along with fresh oregano.
  • Use them as a base to make vegetable soup.

    This recipe is absolutely delicious. I have served it to guests and they have all loved it. Even asked me for the recipe. I have also used the roasted tomatoes alone with burrata, and they were amazing together.
