Oven Roasted Preserved Tomatoes

Oven Roasted Preserved Tomatoes www.bellalimento.com

I’m almost hesitant to say this but I believe winter is on it’s way out. I hope I didn’t just jinx it. It’s been a long, COLD unwanted one, and I for one am rejoicing in the prospect of spring and even longing for the dog days of summer, flip flops, top down on my convertible and for my GARDEN. Yes, my glorious garden. We have both raised beds and a large deck container garden and plant as much as we possibly can. I just can’t get enough. There’s something about fresh food you’ve grown yourself. It doesn’t get much better than picking a rip juicy tomato, sprinkling it with salt and popping it into your mouth. Or when they’re coming out of your ears (and they will) to oven roast them and preserve them in olive oil for later. Sweet sweet goodness.

Miracle-Gro Gro-ables www.bellalimento.com
We’ll be starting that garden soon and this year I’m using Gro-ables to get my garden going. Gro-ables are seed pods that provide an ideal growing environment for your seed. Each ready-to-plant seed pod contains growing materials, plant food and a specially selected seed from one of 17 different varieties including basil, spinach, cilantro, dill, sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes and more. All you need to do is plant your seed, water and enjoy watching it grow into something greater. Easy right?

A little love, water and sunshine later and voila. You’re on your way to fresh fruits and vegetables at your fingertips. I. Can’t. Wait. When you do have those tomatoes coming out of your ears you’ll have to make these slow roasted tomatoes. The oven does most of the work but since it’s on for a LONG time  you’ll want to do as many as possible. I usually have 2-3 baking sheets of tomatoes going in at a time. One sheet I pretty much eat straight away. They’re like candy and I can’t stop. The other two are reserved for preserving with olive oil and occasionally fresh basil (from our garden of course) for later. You’ll thank yourself later for going through this process.

Oven Roasted Preserved Tomatoes www.bellalimento.com
There aren’t any quantities listed in the recipe just ingredients because it’s more of a process and honestly the seasoning and oil will depend on the number of tomatoes you’re using. Make good choices but the more the merrier in my opinion.

    I LOVE Sun Dried tomatoes. so in other recipes, i have seen that they say put it in 120 degrees or the lowest degree and put it for 12 hours or even more. they were saying if you put it high, they wont be as good! do you have any advice on this?

  5. liz piccione-volger says

    04/01/2014 at 2:36 pm

    OH MY GOODNESS! Those tomatoes look amazing. I plan on growing tomatoes, basil, oregano sage and strawberries this year. Always have rosemary growing. These seed pods look so easy!

  8. Katy says

    I can’t wait to try these.

  9. The Café Sucre Farine says

    Yum Paula, I can think of a zillion ways to use these beauties!

  10. Angie says

    04/01/2014 at 4:43 pm

    I love all herbs, but mint is a favorite. Beautiful tomatoes!

  11. Leslie says

    04/01/2014 at 5:08 pm

    I have a variety of fresh herbs growing on my screen porch. It’s nice to just go out and get herbs when I want them.

  12. Ruth Naylor says

    04/01/2014 at 5:47 pm

    I love to grow mint and rosemary, most any herbs really. They just take off and don’t require much care. I love my zucchini also, if I could just keep the squash pests away!

  13. Kenny says

    04/01/2014 at 5:51 pm

    I like to grow tomatoes (with seeds from Italy) and cucumbers.

  14. Adele K says

    04/01/2014 at 5:58 pm

    There is nothing like Home Grown Tomatoes and Basil. And a little rosemary doesn’t hurt either.

  15. Marly says

    04/01/2014 at 5:59 pm

    I usually have sage, parsley, mint, rosemary, thyme, and basil growing in my garden. Honestly, these are all the ones that are fairly tough to kill…which is probably the only reason they’ve survived in my yard! I love the idea of growing tomatoes, but usually the squirrels get to them before we do. Don’t even get me started on the squirrels!!! Seriously! Love this recipe!

  16. Sharon Farrelly says

    04/01/2014 at 6:13 pm

    I have been roasting tomatoes for years!
    If I have oil left over from the tomatoes I use it for salad dressing
    Great recipe
    Happy spring

  17. Jen says

    04/01/2014 at 6:38 pm

    I love growing hot peppers!

  18. vaishali says

    Herbs, tomatoes, chillies and cucumber.

  19. Shelly says

    I love to grow strawberries.

  20. JennyBC says

    04/01/2014 at 8:23 pm

    I like this idea! I always have an herb pot going but I want many pots this year and can never eat enough tomatoes (the one thing I craved with all three pregnancies!). There is nothing that says summer like a tomato from the garden!

  21. Gwen @simplyhealthyfamily says

    04/01/2014 at 8:30 pm

    Herbs and greens are pretty much the only things I can keep alive here in Phoenix!

  22. Gwen @simplyhealthyfamily says

    04/01/2014 at 8:31 pm

    Sooo,serious question. I thought preserved foods lasted more than a few days?

  23. TrishInFL says

    04/01/2014 at 9:24 pm

    I love herbs of all kinds, tomatoes and peppers!

  24. Alison says

    Basil

  25. Joyce says

    04/01/2014 at 9:41 pm

    Is there a specific type of tomatoes that works best like roma versus the garden or are the garden tomotoes best

  26. Victoria says

    04/01/2014 at 9:57 pm

    I love to grow a garden full of a variety of veggies, but my favorite thing to EAT from my garden is Cherokee Purple Tomatoes!

    04/02/2014 at 8:17 am

    Gosh, Paula, these oven roasted tomatoes must pack so much flavor. I love th photograph.

  35. Sarina says

    04/02/2014 at 8:22 am

    There’s nothing better than a vine-ripened, sun kissed tomato on a caprese crostini. Freshly chopped basil is also a necessity. Love it!

  36. Amy @Very Culinary says

    04/02/2014 at 8:37 am

    Oh, how neat! Here in Cali, we’re able to start out gardens early – I’m planting this weekend, actually. And you can bet there will be several tomato plants!

  37. Erin | The Law Student's Wife says

    04/02/2014 at 9:10 am

    Not a cop out: TOMATOES. I long to have a big beautiful garden of them one day!

  38. Christiane ~ Taking On Magazines says

    04/02/2014 at 9:20 am

    My yard is full of trees, which isn’t conducive to vegetable growing, but I can’t live without my herbs. When we moved here I dug up the front bed by the house and planted all kinds of things, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme. I love my herbs.

  39. Cate O'Malley says

    04/02/2014 at 9:38 am

    As soon as our tomatoes are in season, I’m totally doing this. Nature’s candy for sure!

  40. Rebecca {foodie with family} says

    04/02/2014 at 9:50 am

    The only thing I’m able to grow consistently with good results is herbs. These preserved tomatoes? I think I’d eat them straight from the jar!

  41. Kiki Corcoran says

    04/02/2014 at 9:56 am

    My fave growable would be tomatoes and/or basil….maybe I should grow them together in the same big pot! Nothing like a caprese salad!

  42. danielle says

    04/02/2014 at 10:16 am

    tomatoes and fresh herbs

  43. Ken says

  45. Karen Lynch says

    We grew carrots and onions last year for the first time and they were so easy and the carrots were the best we ever had.

  46. Kelly D says

  48. Angie | Big Bear's Wife says

    04/02/2014 at 12:15 pm

    Each year I TRY to grow tomatoes, basil, thyme and zucchini but normally fail. 🙁 Love the idea of roasting and preserving the tomatoes like this though!

  49. Angie says

    04/02/2014 at 12:16 pm

    Spring has sprung! let’s all plant tomatoes! great post, cool giveaway, thanks!

    04/02/2014 at 3:27 pm

    I would just love to be able to grow some good tomatoes!!! I have a very small garden place and the tomatoes just do not do real well. I have try just about everything so this would be a good thing if it works!!!

  53. tk says

  54. Susan says

    04/02/2014 at 5:30 pm

    I so desperately want a garden! For now I’ll make do with tomatoes from the farmer’s market. Will have to do this when I can get my hands on some.

  55. Jill J says

    04/02/2014 at 6:37 pm

    I have limited space (for now!) but I enjoy taking advantage of the space I have and plant bell peppers and tomatoes!

  56. barbara n says

    04/02/2014 at 8:43 pm

    I love homegrown tomatoes!

  57. Kim Beaulieu says

    04/03/2014 at 12:14 am

    At our old place we had a massive garden, it spanned the whole length of our property. We had a white picket fence around it, so adorable. We’re trying to find a spot here big enough with enough sun on it. But we’re surrounded by old trees, 5 in my own dang yard.

    Totally trying this out come tomato season.

  58. Joanne says

    04/03/2014 at 7:26 am

    I’m going to attempt an indoor garden this year and tomatoes are high on my list of things to grow! Must check out these seed pods…and hone my oven-roasted tomato skillz before they come!

  66. Tina W says

    04/05/2014 at 5:14 pm

    Tomatoes are my favorite. There is such a HUGE difference between what you can grow and what you get from the store. We supply our entire cul-de-sac with tomatoes all summer long.

  67. Caroline says

    04/05/2014 at 5:44 pm

    I’m just starting a vegetable garden this year so I still have to discover what my favorite will be!

  73. Jessica w says

    04/06/2014 at 5:47 pm

    Tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers, but I really need to grow dill weed and cilantro. I spend way too much on fresh herbs sometimes

    Made these the last two weekends.

    They were such a big hit that I made them
    again for Easter Sunday. Put them on crackers
    and my kids all loved them.

    So delicious and you just put them in the oven
    and come back in6-8 hours and they are delicious.

    Thanks for posting this delicious dish.
    We can’t wait for fresh tomatoes this summer.

    Denise

  81. Annie Savidge says

    08/01/2015 at 1:41 pm

    These look really good, but what do you do with them later? Can you use them just like diced, canned tomatoes? What’s your favorite way to use them?
