Roasted Roma Tomatoes

 

Ingredients:

15-20 Roma tomatoes

2 tbsp olive oil

3 tbsp chopped fresh basil or oregano (less if using dried herbs)

2 cloves minced garlic

2 medium onions – chopped

Salt & pepper to taste

 

Wash and quarter tomatoes. Toss with remaining ingredients.

Transfer to a greased shallow baking dish and bake at 350 for 2 – 2 1/2  hours.  (line baking dish with parchment paper for an easy clean-up).

Stir occasionally. Most of the liquid should be evaporated.

Use immediately or freeze in ziploc bags or containers. 

 

Helpful hints:

• You can use beefsteak tomatoes as well.  Roasting time needs to be increased because they have a higher water content.
• Freezing in a single layer on a cookie sheet and transferring to freezer bags after freezing allows you to take exactly the right amount out of the freezer at a time.
•  A little sugar sprinkled on top cuts the acidity.
