I am so excited to find this recipe. Aldi’s had pints of tomatoes for 69¢ this week and I just couldn’t stop buying them. My daughter thinks she can eat them just like grapes…a pint at a time. I am suprised they don’t hurt her stomach. Hope she likes these too.

I know it’s the middle of winter, but I got a good deal on some organic cherry tomatoes from Trader Joe’s and was looking for something to do with them. I dried about half of them using this method, and they came out great! I didn’t have any whole garlic on hand, so I drizzled them with a combination of EVOO and some of the oil my minced garlic is packed in, then seasoned with basil and a little bit of salt. They dried up beautifully in about an hour and a half–my old gas oven only goes down to 250, and it was actually hovering around 275 the whole time so they cooked quickly. Plus, they were little guys, more like grape tomatoes. Very delicious–just make sure you keep an eye on them. Thanks for the recipe!

Can oven roasted tomatoes be preserved as you would a jam in a water bath for 10 or 20 minutes? Thanks in advance for your help.

There’s no need to skin the tomatoes.

Are you supposed to take the skins off after cooked? That seems hard as a lot of the tomato pulp stays in the skin. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks SO much for this article! This has been my go-to recipe all tomato season. As a matter of fact, sliced heirlooms are roasting in the oven as I type (hoarded some from the last crop of this season). Delicious and so easy!

Lyn – I sprinkled herbes de provence and very lightly salted the current batch. The salt helps draw out the tomato juices. Didn’t use pepper.

Great article! Is it okay to add Basil to this recipe? With or without the Rosemary & Thyme? (I’m thinking of using all 3.)
Also, is it okay to not use the salt & pepper? I prefer to leave them out of all my cooking and allow the diners to add their own.
Thank you so much for this recipe. I can’t wait to try it.

I just gathered the last of my tomatoes and didn’t know what to do with them. Even I get sick of caprese! I’ve got the tomatoes roasting as I type this. Wish I found this recipe earlier in the season – but I’ll use it all next year! Thanks!

I was just doing a search for “delicious cherry tomato recipes” because the tomato gods have seen fit to grant me with a MONSTROUS amount of these gem-like, gorgeous bright orange cherry tomatoes.

Now I have no problem with this as I love them (as does everyone else here) but I’m getting a little frantic as they are overflowing the house, yard, etc!

I picked two large bowls full of cherries and romas and it’s in the oven now. I’m so excited! I know they are going to be fantastic!

Thanks so much for such a lovely recipe! I know I’ll use it every year, now! :)
