oven roasted tomatoes

Feel free to share!

Oven roasted tomatoes are simple and easy to make. A great addition to many dishes, stirred through a pasta sauce, added to risotto, the list is endless!

Oven roasted tomatoes are something we both have in our cupboards at home. They are versatile and we use them in many different dishes. We’ve used them to stuff pasta and stirred through a pasta sauce. However add to green beans, brocolli, or other green vegetables just before serving and you’ll transform a side dish!

These oven roasted tomatoes, or confit tomatoes as they’re also know, are deceptively easy to make. When one of us is making a batch, we double up and make for the other while we are at it. The process is simple, cut the tomatoes, flavour with garlic and oregano and place in a low oven to dry out. Take care not to allow the tomatoes to a crisp however, as they’ll just taste too salty! Instead leave the tomatoes just a little soft in the middle, that way they’ll plump up lovely in the olive oil.

After roasting also remove the outer skins of the garlic cloves and add these to the jars along with the tomatoes. Once in jars with a tight fitting lid they will keep for a couple of months if stored in a cool, dry place.

We love these tomatoes and use them in a variety of dishes that we cook. Including our Tomato Risotto, our Ravioli Caprese and our Individual Cheese & Tomato Tarts.

These tomatoes are delicious with green vegetables. Steam some green beans, then add the tomatoes and some of the oil to a frying pan, heat up and toss in the green beans to coat.
