A simple tutorial on how to make roasted tomatoes!
Every once in awhile, I like to share a “How To” post. Â Sometimes things come off too complicated or we just don’t think of these simple little things we can easily do that can actually make a huge difference in the flavor of our meals! Â Roasted garlic and toasted coconut are two of my favorite ingredients that make it easy to change the flavor of so many dishes! Â Today I am sharing how to make roasted tomatoes because they too can add more depth to your dishes – especially pasta dishes!
Making roasted tomatoes is actually really easy. Â I usually start with grape or cherry tomatoes because you don’t have to worry about doing any chopping. Â Just wash, pat dry, and toss them into a small bowl.

Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle on some salt and pepper to taste.  Give them a good toss so they are all covered in the oil.
Spread the tomatoes onto a sheet pan.  I would recommend lining your pan with a Silpat mat to make cleaning up any baked on tomato juices easier.  You can also line the pan with foil.
Baked at 400°F for about 15 minutes, or until they are all collapsed.
These roasted tomatoes go great tossed into just about any kind of pasta dish! Â I most recently used them in my Pasta with Creamy Goat Cheese Tomato Sauce recipe, but they even work well in pasta dishes that don’t have any type of red sauce! Â I also like to use them in pasta salads, veggies wraps, and paninis!
I hope this quick and easy tutorial on how to make roasted tomatoes has inspired you to give them a try! I am always looking for new ideas and would love to know how you are planning to use them too!
Enjoy!
