Tomato varieties
If you can’t find on-the-vine tomatoes, don’t worry!
Most local grocery stores have tons of tomato options!
And you probably have a local farmers market nearby with local, fresh produce, too.
So which tomato is best for roasting?
Honestly, all of them!
The best tomatoes to use are the ones that are ripe and have not been refrigerated.
Refrigeration of raw tomatoes makes the texture of tomatoes grainy, and mealy. And it is not reversible!
Additional options
Want to turn up the volume?
Feel free to add crushed garlic, torn fresh basil leaves, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flake to your dish before baking.
These will all enhance the natural flavors of the tomatoes, and give you a delicious base for all of your dishes!
Storage and leftovers
These roasted tomatoes will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Because they are cooked, they will no longer be at risk of becoming grainy and mealy in the fridge.
Finally, reheating is as simple as putting them in a microwave-safe dish and heating them for 1-2 minutes or until heated thoroughly.

I’m confused by this page. Vine ripened tomatoes are usually ripened in a hothouse and they are not grown in the summer. In the summer we get sun ripened tomatoes, which are higher in flavor and vitamins. But, putting that aside, I got vine ripened tomatoes from my CSA and I think roasting them might highten the flavor and make them more useful.

I made an arugula salad simply dressed with lemon, oil, salt & pepper. Then added really good goat cheese (room temperature) and added the roasted cherry tomatoes warm on top and served on platter. I cut the tomatoes into separate pieces of 7 or 8 tomatoes (still on vine) so people could serve themselves the tomatoes, then salad underneath. The goat cheese warmed a little by the tomatoes Stunning and delicious!

Roasted tomatoes are my absolute fav! When I was pregnant with my first...This was what I craved. A restaurant, that was our favorite at the time, had them on a number of their apps and entrees (previous to that I had not had tomatoes roasted like this)). I was OBSESSED, I would go in and ask for extra on whatever I ordered...then I would go in and just ask for a plate of them AND eat my husbands if he had any on his order...HA! . While pregnant I couldn't get enough!! Then, of course, I replicated them at home...Guess who the only one in my household is that doesn't like tomatoes?? Yup...My oldest, lol! So funny how that works sometimes. Beautiful photos Brandy!

Hi, Agness! Yes, totally! The vine is more for beauty than necessity, haha. Just adjust the roasting time based on size. Happy cooking!
