How to Make Fire Roasted Tomatoes

Roasted tomatoes is certainly an underrated dish if you were to ask me.
For as easy as this is to make and as delicious as it is to eat, I would think that more folks would be serving this up.

What I also like about this recipe is that it can be made on the grill.
Making this on the grill, indoor or outdoor version, is easy to do. However, making these tomatoes in the oven is easy to do as well.

I must admit that I do have an abundance of tomatoes acquired this time of the year.

Yes, many of those tomatoes have been grown in my garden itself. However, I also have generous friends with successfully abundant gardens that are also bearing wonderful tomatoes.

The good news about tomatoes, other than they are delicious and easy to use, is that they are also pretty healthy to eat.
What I mean is that the average tomato has a good supply of Vitamin C, Potassium, and Folate. This is in addition to being relatively low in calories, carbs, and fat.

You may be wondering what kind of tomatoes are the best ones to use in this recipe.

Certainly, you should go with both what you have on hand and what your preferences are. For example, Roma tomatoes are flavorful and get even more flavorful when roasted.

The size of your tomatoes is also of some importance when it comes to choosing the best one for this recipe.

This is especially true if you are using a grill with grates as you do not want to risk losing a small tomato through the grills grates. Also, larger tomatoes tend to be milder in taste than smaller tomatoes and as a result, can affect the taste results of your efforts.

Seasoning is almost as important as the tomatoes are in this recipe.

Using Italian style seasonings may seem like a no-brainer in a recipe such as this one. However, perhaps using a seasoning that resembles a fire roasting would even taste better than Italian seasonings in this recipe (especially if you are roasting in your oven!).

What you will need in this recipe is olive oil.
Olive oil will be needed for prepping the grill grates or pan before you roast.
We will also be drizzling olive oil over the tomatoes for roasting.

Lastly, you may be wondering if canned tomatoes can be used for fire roasting.

I say why not use canned tomatoes especially when tomatoes are not in season (think Thanksgiving here!). Just look for canned tomatoes that are whole Jump to Recipe
