If you are like me, and have so many tomatoes in your garden you don’t know what to do with, here is a great recipe for a slow roasted tomato sauce. Roasting the tomatoes brings out an intense flavor you cannot get otherwise. Roma tomatoes work best for this recipe.
Candied Tomato Sauce
Yield: 4 servings
Serving Size: 1 /4
Ingredients
- 12 ripe Roma tomatoes
- salt
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 tsp fresh oregano
- olive oil spray
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°.
- Slice tomatoes in half.
- Season with salt, basil, oregano and thyme.
- Spray a cookie sheet with olive oil spray and place tomatoes cut side up.
- Bake 2 hrs until skin gets wrinkled and crusty on the bottom and moist in the center.
- Puree the tomatoes in a food processor.
- If it is too thick, you can thin with pasta water.
- Serve over your favorite high fiber pasta and grated cheese.

This was so, so good! I have a ton of tomatoes all ripening at the same time, and this was perfect! They are not Romas, but it didn’t seem to matter. Except for that point, I followed the instructions exactly, then used the sauce for a quick pizza. DELICIOUS!
Thanks so much for this and the Baked Eggplant recipe. We have 100 tomato plants & was running out of ways to can them!
Id add butter but this is "skinny" cooking lol. This is making me so hungry. I love your blog!
Freezing it in batches is a great idea!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE!!!!! I MADE SOMETHING LIKE THIS A FEW YRS AGO AND LOST THE RECIPE. IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. i MADE 2 OR 3 BATCHES OF IT AND FROZE IT IN 1 CUP QUANTITIES. GREAT FOR WHEN YOU WANT THAT CARB FIX!!!!!THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Looks good to my liking. I don’t like to watered sauce which is a lot of what I find. Have to look into making this one.
Thanks!
I love this recipe. I’m looking at ten tomatoes now and I’m just not sure what I’m going to do with them, now I have a great recipe! Thanks so much!
