Roasting Tomatoes at Home has never been easier with this roasted tomatoes recipe. Just 3-Ingredients and you’ll have freshly roasted tomatoes in no time. 
I was fed up with the numerous times I tried and could not find roasted tomatoes in my grocery store. I’ve been on the hunt for these tomatoes for at least a year. Every time I want to experiment with roasted tomatoes, I travel back and forth through every aisle possible. Nothing. (If they are there, those babies are extremely good at hiding.)
Well, fine. I’ll make them myself.
The 5 minutes it takes to slice the tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, and toss on some herbs is way more cost efficient than the $5 jar I was looking for. I call this a win.
Especially as I find myself making excuses to make dishes with these easily roasted tomatoes so that I can keep eating them.
The flavor, oh my word, the flavor! Perfectly roasted to perfection with a sweet and tangy flavor that just bursts as you plop one in your mouth.
Last year I had so many fresh tomatoes from my garden, but I had zero clue what to do with them all. Now I know. There will be roasted tomatoes galore this year.
Add them to pasta with more olive oil and garlic. Add them to bruschetta, on a salad, with a cheese board. The possibilities are endless!

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of tomatoes works best for roasting?
Roma tomatoes are ideal for roasting due to their low moisture content and rich flavor, but you can also use any ripe, firm tomatoes you have on hand.
How do I adjust the roasting time if I use smaller tomatoes?
If you’re using smaller varieties like cherry or grape tomatoes, reduce the roasting time by about 5 to 10 minutes to prevent them from becoming too soft.
Can I add other herbs or spices to the roasted tomatoes?
Absolutely! While the recipe mentions herbs, feel free to experiment with additional flavors like garlic powder, basil, or oregano for a personalized touch.
Used some sad, small store bought Campari tomatoes. Switched the thyme with dry basil. Awesome – my husband gobbled them right off the cookie sheet!
I used cherry tomatoes and didn’t slice. Used dried spices also, turned out so good, LOVE!
