Notes
- To prepare ahead of time -Prepare the tomatoes recipe as directed up to the point of baking and store them covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bake as directed when you are ready to serve them.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up 3-4 days. Re-heat in a preheated 350F/180C oven or in the microwave.
- to freeze the tomatoes - Prepare whole tomatoes to the point of baking them. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Flash freeze and transfer to a freezer safe container. Freeze for up to three months. Do not thaw. Bake from frozen in a hot oven. As with most fresh vegetables, freezing them might change the texture slightly but they will still be delicious.
