Roasted Roma Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the tomato halves in a shallow baking dish in which they can all fit in snugly side by side. Insert the whole cloves of garlic in between the tomatoes. Brush olive oil over the top and sprinkle with basil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, until tomatoes have softened and are sizzling in the pan with the edges slightly charred. Serve while hot.

Steps:

• For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the tomato halves in a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, add the garlic, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes and toss to coat. Arrange them on a baking sheet cut-side up and roast for 30 minutes.
• For the herb drizzle: Meanwhile, add the basil, olive oil, oregano, capers, lemon juice and some salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth and pourable. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Arrange the roasted tomatoes on a platter and top with some of the herb drizzle. Garnish with fresh basil and oregano leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Arrange the tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut sides up, in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle the garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper over the tomatoes. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are concentrated and beginning to caramelize. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Put the halved tomatoes in a bowl and toss with the olive oil. Oil a rack that will fit on top of a baking sheet. Place foil on the baking sheet and oil the foil, and place the rack on top. Place the tomatoes, cut side up, on the rack. Sprinkle with coarse salt and a tiny amount of sugar. Place in the oven and roast for 2 hours. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 30 minutes. The tomatoes will look a little dry on the surfaces and the skin will be tough. But when you bite into the tomatoes you'll experience a rush of incredibly sweet juice and pulp. If you want to use these for a sauce, put through the fine blade of a food mill.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Line 2 rimmed cookie sheets with foil. Spray each with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, toss tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper flakes. Arrange cut side up in one layer, tightly packed in rows, on pans. Transfer onions, without separating into rings, to pan. Press cut side of garlic into the oil, and place on pan. Scrape remaining oil mixture onto onions.
• Roast 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes or until tomatoes are charred on edges and onions have browned.
• Squeeze garlic cloves from skins, and place in blender. Working in batches, add tomatoes, onions and pan juices to blender. Blend until smooth, starting low then working up to high speed, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer to large glass or stainless steel bowl. Repeat with remaining tomatoes, onions, garlic and pan juices.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate about 30 minutes or until lukewarm. Transfer in 1-cup portions to freezer containers or 1-quart resealable freezer plastic bags. (If using freezer bags, squeeze out excess air before sealing. Lay bag flat on cookie sheet, and freeze.) Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator or in microwave on Medium (50%) 3 to 5 minutes or until completely thawed, then use immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place all ingredients in a large bowl; mix to combine. Spread tomato mixture evenly in a large baking dish and transfer to oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes and mash, using the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Return to oven and continue to bake until soft and juicy, 15 to 25 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with foil, and coat lightly with some of the olive oil.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, garlic, basil, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper.
• Place tomatoes cut-side up on the baking sheet. Brush with the olive oil mixture.
• Bake 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and are sizzling, with the edges slightly charred. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix together the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, and salt and pepper in a bowl, working the seasonings into the cavities of the tomatoes. Place the tomatoes, cut sides up, on a baking sheet, and sprinkle each tomato with about 1 tablespoon of feta cheese.
• Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven until cooked but still firm, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• TOMATOES:.
• Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise.
• Lay halves cut side up in a single layer in an 8- by 12-inch oval or rectangular casserole (rim should be at least 1/2 inches higher than tomatoes).
• In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart pan, combine onion, vinegar, sugar, olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes(if usng) and ginger.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often.
• Pour over tomatoes.
• Roast in a 400°F oven (convection not recommended) until tomatoes are dark brown and sauce is browned and thickened (bubbles will be large and shiny), about 1 1/4 hours; baste tomatoes with sauce and onions about every 15 minutes at first, then more frequently as mixture begins to thicken, to avoid scorching.
• Use hot, warm, or at room temperature.
• ASSEMBLY:.
• Spread lemon cheese equally on oiled sides of the olive-oil toast slices.
• Set on plates and cover equally with arugula leaves.

• In a food processor or bowl, combine cream cheese (at room temperature), fresh chèvre (goat cheese), milk, and grated lemon peel.
• Whirl or beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until blended.
• OLIVE OIL TOAST:.
• Lay 8 slices of rustic white bread such as sourdough or ciabatta (about 3 by 4 in., cut about 1/2 inches thick) in a single layer in a shallow 10- by 15-inch pan.
• Bake in a 375°F oven until lightly browned on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Turn slices over and brush equally with about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
• Continue baking until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes longer.
