Roasted Tomatoes

Roma Tomatoes

Wash and dry tomatoes place on a cookie sheet.
Once oven is pre heated, place cookie sheet in the oven. Bake approximately 20 minutes or until you see the tomato skin crack or semi open. The timing will depend on how large and how many tomatoes you have. Remove from oven and let cool. Once cooled, peel the skin off, core, place tomatoes in food processor or blender.
