The Summer Fest theme this week is tomatoes, and I can't think of a better thing to talk about than slow-roasted tomatoes. I made these for the first time last September and they were absolutely amazing. Although I made them a few more times throughout the year with grocery store cherry tomatoes, I've been waiting for some good summer tomatoes to roast.
Yesterday I roasted a tray of 20 gorgeous Roma tomatoes that I had picked up at the Saturday Farmer's Market. It took all day, but the end result was fantastic. I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I ate about 15 of those tomatoes for dinner last night. I just kept picking them off the tray as they were cooling. My name is Nicole and I ate 15 Roma tomatoes in one night! Now you know why you aren't seeing photos of slow-roasted Roma tomatoes... I ate them before I could photograph them.
But I also roasted a pan of cherry tomatoes since I didn't have enough Romas to fill two pans. If you're going to have the oven on all day anyway, you really should fill all the racks with tomatoes. I managed to eat at least a handful of the cherry tomatoes, too. I know what you're thinking. But you'll understand once you make some yourself. You should do that.
