Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce Recipe

Instructions for Making Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce

Step 1: Prepare the Tomatoes and Oven

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prep the Tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes, then cut them in half lengthwise. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut side up, along with the garlic cloves and chopped onion.

Step 2: Season and Roast

1. Add Oil and Seasoning: Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes, garlic, and onions. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, dried basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
2. Roast the Tomatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35–45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft, slightly charred on the edges, and very fragrant.

Step 3: Blend the Sauce

1. Transfer to Blender: Once the tomatoes have cooled slightly, transfer them (along with the garlic, onions, and any juices from the baking sheet) to a blender or food processor.
2. Blend Until Smooth: Pulse until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother sauce, blend longer; for a chunkier sauce, use fewer pulses.
3. Adjust Flavor: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. Add sugar, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, if the sauce is too acidic.

Step 4: Simmer (Optional)

1. Simmer for Depth: For a thicker, more concentrated sauce, pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and simmer over low heat for an additional 10–15 minutes.
