My favorite time of year is tomato season!

When tomatoes are in season, they’re perfectly ripe and sweet, and immediately ready to be used in all of your salads, pasta, and sandwiches, like my all-time favorite summertime tomato sandwich!

These on the vine roasted tomatoes, take nature’s already perfect fruit, concentrate their sweet, luscious flavor, and slightly crack and blister the skin. 

You’ll love how soft and juicy these on-the-vine roasted tomatoes turn out, and will definitely want to have them on hand all summer long!

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!
