Ingredients
- 3 lbs tomato any variety, 1360 g
- 6 cloves garlic whole in their skin
- 3 Tbsp olive oil 45 mL
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp basil fresh
- rosemary optional; hardy herbs
- thyme
- oregano
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Cut large tomatoes into chunks (leave any cherry tomatoes whole). Add tomatoes and garlic cloves to a parchment or aluminum-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, tossing around to evenly coat everything. Turn all tomatoes cut side down.
- Bake: Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until tomatoes blister and turn brown. If you notice the tray smoking, add a touch of water to the pan.
- Blend: Add roasted tomatoes to a food processor. Squeeze the garlic out of their papery skins and add them to the food processor as well, along with fresh basil. Blitz until combined.
- Taste: Taste the roasted tomato sauce and add more salt and pepper as needed.
