Can you roast tomatoes ahead of time?
I like to serve these tomatoes when they are still warm, but you can also enjoy them cold. Let them cool and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge.
These roasted tomatoes will keep well for up to 5 days and added to salads cold or gently reheated in the oven.
What are the best tomatoes to use?
I like to use cherry tomatoes on the vine, but you can also use tomatoes off the vine. Using loose cherry tomatoes or glory tomatoes will work just as well and the recipe remains the same.
When are Tomatoes in Season?
Although we are lucky that in most grocery stores in the United States, we can get tomatoes year round, they’re still juiciest and best when they’re in season, which is typically May through October.
