Oven Roasted Tomatoes Recipe
Oven Roasted Tomatoes are made by roasting a variety of tomatoes—cherry, roma, plum, or cocktail—with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs until their skins soften and flavors concentrate. This slow roasting process intensifies their sweetness and softens the flesh, making them versatile for salads, spreads, or sauces. The herbs and garlic infuse aroma throughout roasting, enhancing the final dish.

Ingredients
- 4 pounds tomato cocktail, roma, plum, or cherry
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6-8 cloves garlic (left whole or roughly chopped)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 10 prigs fresh herbs (such as thyme, basil, parsley, or rosemary)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- If using cherry or cocktail tomatoes, you can leave the tomatoes whole. For plum or romas, I first stem the tomatoes, then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds by gently squeezing them out (if you feel like it), or remove with a spoon.
- Working on the baking sheet, toss the tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the garlic and herbs.
- Arrange the tomatoes, cut side up if cut in half, in a single layer on the baking sheet. For cocktail, roma, or plum tomatoes, roast at 400°F for 40-50 minutes or until the skin softens and begins to burst. For cherry tomatoes, roast for 15-20 minutes.
- Discard the herbs and slice, chop or add whole to salads, grains, or rice; mash and spread on toasted crostini; or add the garlic and tomatoes to a blender and whiz until smooth for an easy pasta sauce.
