Preserving Oven Roasted Tomatoes Food

ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Arrange the tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut sides up, in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle the garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper over the tomatoes. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are concentrated and beginning to caramelize. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the tomatoes from sticking.
• Toss the tomatoes with the oil and salt on the parchment paper, then arrange the tomatoes so the cut sides are all facing up.
• Bake for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 1/2 hours, until the tomatoes are shrunken and shriveled and not too wet or squishy. Exact timing will depend on their size and your preferences.
• Let the tomatoes cool, then use as desired. Leftover tomatoes will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for 1 week or longer. Or, freeze them for up to 6 months.

OVEN-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• For the balsamic vinaigrette: Combine the vinegar, mustard, honey and salt and pepper to taste. Stir with a whisk or fork, then drizzle in oil, whisking constantly, until combined.
• For the roasted tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and spread out the tomatoes evenly to ensure a proper roast on each. Sprinkle the dried basil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and Italian seasoning over the tomatoes, making certain that each tomato is well seasoned. Drizzle 1/4 cup vinaigrette over the tomatoes, making sure not to over-coat the tomatoes.
• Roast the tomatoes 45 minutes. (This is a fast roast, not an oven-dried tomato. Do not flip or shake the pan. The tomatoes will caramelize slightly on the top and the bottoms will remain juicy.) Turn the oven off and let sit in the oven 15 additional minutes.
