Roasted tomatoes have so much amazing flavor, the oven-roasting process makes the tomatoes sweeter and intensifies the flavor. Add them to soups, sauces, pasta dishes or just eaten like candy.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Some years I almost dread tomato season.  We always have way more than we can use and Jim ends up walking up and down the street giving them away to the neighbors!  But this year I think I may keep all the tomatoes to myself because I discovered this amazing roasted tomato recipe, they taste just like candy. 

And when you roast tomatoes before adding them into soups and sauces you take the flavor level way up!  It can make a huge difference to a recipe to roast the tomatoes first.

What Kind of Tomatoes Should I Use for Roasted Tomatoes?

You can roast any size, shape or type of tomato.  My two favorites to roast are cherry tomatoes and roma tomatoes.  You can also use grape tomatoes and Italian plum tomatoes The roasting time will just be longer for bigger, meatier tomatoes.

Ingredients Needed

  • Tomatoes
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Garlic
  • Kosher Salt and Pepper
  • Fresh herbs, optional. I like to use thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil and marjoram.

How to make Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

  • I like to use a combination of red and orange cherry tomatoes because it is prettier.
  • Slice the tomatoes in half and place in a bowl.
  • Pour in 1 Tbsp olive oil per cup of tomatoes.
  • Add in 2 cloves of fresh chopped garlic per cup of tomatoes
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Add in some fresh herbs, this is an optional step.  When I have fresh herbs on hand I like to add them in.  Some of my favorites are thyme, oregano and some marjoram.  I used 1 tsp of fresh herbs to 1 C tomatoes and 1/8 tsp of salt and pepper.
  • Stir to coat tomatoes.

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil and spread the tomatoes into a single layer.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roast the tomatoes for about 20-30 minutes

How Long Does It take to Roast Tomatoes?

The roasting time will vary depending on how big your tomatoes are and how done you like them. Cherry Tomatoes will take 20-30 minutes but larger size potatoes can take 50-60 minutes.  I like mine well done, when a lot of the dark crispy edges forms around the tomatoes, so yummy!  I would say the tomatoes in the photo below are medium.  Some crispness around the edges but not too much.

    This sounds delicious, but I have a question. Do you peel the tomatoes after they are roasted?

    Thank You

    That looks fantastic…I will be making this for sure. I planted my cherry tomatoes early and they took off! I have a ridiculous amount falling on the ground, going to waste.
