So today I had 4 nice vine tomatoes just hanging out on my kitchen counter. When suddenly I remembered a cooking show I saw recently at the gym. (Yes I know watching cooking shows while working out is rather ridiculous.) Anyway, I remember it seemed simple and it looked delicious so I decided to just make my own version. Let me tell you this will be a regular at my house…especially when summer comes and we are bombarded with fresh tomatoes.
How I make roasted tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes
First you need a few ripe tomatoes. This is great when you are bombarded with fresh tomatoes from the garden but you can also use tomatoes from the store.
Quarter these and add to a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil. Add a few cloves of garlic, salt, pepper and Italian seasonings and you are good to go.
Roast them in a 375 degree oven for about an hour and they should look like this.
Next you mash them a bit with a potato masher and voila! You have roasted tomato sauce. Serve with pasta, other veggies, on a sandwich or just with a piece of bread. It really is simple and delicious!!!

What about the skins? Can this be canned?
Denise
Hi Sharon, you can see the skins in the photo. They were not off-putting to us. And I don’t see why you couldn’t can this. Hope that was a little help.

For some reason the link to your Bloody Mary infused Vodka, is misspelled. It’s showing up as “Bloddy”.
Denise
Hi Misty,
Thanks for pointing that out! I’ve fixed it.
Lynn Gareau
This is my 2nd time making this.
Made a double batch both times.
Very excited to be making my own pasta sauce.
Thank you for this recipe. 👍
Denise
Hi Lynn,
So glad you like it. It’s so easy isn’t it? Thanks for coming back and commenting. I appreciate it!

I also watch cooking shows on the treadmill. What better motivation to keep going than seeing what that calorie deficit might earn you? “20 more minutes and I can eat some ice cream!”
Denise
Haha You understand me Lindsey!
Susan
I’ve made a similar recipe. I’ve roasted poblano peppers, tomatoes, onion and garlic together. Great for chili.
Denise
That sounds great!
Meg
Can this be frozen?
Denise
Hi Meg,
I don’t see why this can’t be frozen. I have never done that but I freeze a lot of things and I can’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t work.
Hope that helps!
Liz
I made this recipe this week and it is fantastic. Roasting really makes tomatoes shine. Thanks for a very simple and delicious way to use up summer tomatoes. I’m making more today for the freezer!
Denise
Thanks Liz! This is an old post but it is good. I’m glad you liked it.

My tomatoes just sprouted up the other day, only a few more months until I can make this with my own homegrown tomatoes. I can’t wait.
