Easy Roasted Tomatoes

Roasted Tomatoes


I was at the gym watching the Food Network channel as I worked on the elliptical machine. The Barefoot Contessa was on and just happened to be roasting some tomatoes. It inspired me to try roasting my own as pictured above. It is an easy and delicious addition to a meal.

On a tray lined with parchment paper, I cut some large tomatoes in half and placed them face down onto the tray.  I added some olive oil, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of sugar. They roasted at 350F for 15 to 20 minutes.

I love tomatoes fresh, but not so much cooked. Happy weekend, hugs, Valerie

I am one of those strange folks that don't care for cooked tomatos. I can do the small cherry ones, I can take them made into a sauce, I just can't do the larger ones cooked. It has to do with the feel of it in my mouth I think.....

I like them in all forms: fresh, cooked, roasted. Usually, I don't add anything to them so that it doesn't interfere with their natural juice.
Your tomatoes look delicious!

I love tomatoes any kind of way! This looks and sounds so quick and easy, even I could make them. I am telling the "Mister" about this...he loves to cook.

Wishing you a Great Sunday!

My sister made something similar while we were visiting, She sliced them, put them on a cookie sheet and drizzed italian dressing, salt pepper and mozzarella over them. They were SO good. i like the idea of a touch of balsalmic vinegar

You can roast anything! It is wonderful. I like throwing veggies in the bottom of a big pan, pop some meat on top, and they are yummy. So easy.
You're not vegetarian, are you? I've had to unfollow someone on Twitter, as she keeps testifying to how horrible meat eaters are!

I'm not vegetarian, in fact we had steak with this!
