Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this recipe roast Roma tomatoes at a low 250°F for two hours instead of a higher temperature?
The low-and-slow 250°F oven gently dries the tomatoes rather than cooking them quickly, producing chewy, flavor-packed tomatoes. A quick high-heat roast would soften and burst the tomatoes rather than concentrating and intensifying their flavor.
How should I store these roasted tomatoes, and how long do they keep?
Let them cool, then store in an airtight container such as a jar or freezer bag. You can freeze them for up to six months.
