If you haven’t tried it before, it is a must. Try using Sungold cherry tomatoes. The sauce literally turns out like tomato candy. I slice them in half, add a chopped onion, a chopped red bell pepper, and several cloves of garlic. Drizzle olive oil on the mixture and put into the oven. Turn the mixture a couple of times. When you see the onion and bell pepper starting to brown, then you are done. You can make it a Mexican sauce or Italian sauce depending on the herbs you add. Most people I know just eat it fresh out of the oven. It really is excellent.

As a matter of fact, I started canning my tomatoes after oven roasting them because the oven roasting really made the tomato sauce delicious. I slice the tomatoes in half (my favorite is Early Girl. I then try to empty out the seeds as much as possible over a bowl with a strainer. Place them skin side up on a parchment lined tray and cook at 350 for about 30-45 minutes (when you start seeing the skins start browning). After you’ve removed them from the oven, the skin is easily removed. Throw them in your pot, along with the juice from the strained seeds (don’t want to waste that delicious tomato juice). You can then proceed with waterbath canning as you normally but do make sure to add in the necessary acid because your tomatoes are now much sweeter than they were before roasting. Very much worth the extra effort in canning fresh tomatoes.

I can’t wait to try this version, but tomatoes are out of season now so it will have to wait until next spring/summer. Everyone should try this recipe, especially if you haven’t tried roasting tomatoes for a sauce (or just slurping it up)!

No need for pasta! Tomato sauce recipes that ask for tomatoes to be roasted makes me a very happy eater.
