Roasting tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and depth of flavor, making them perfect for a rich and creamy puree., perfect for pasta, pizza topping or dipping!
Customize the vegetables to your liking, but here’s a suggested combination:
- Ripe tomatoes, cored and halved (any variety)
- garlic cloves
- red bell peppers
- onions
- olive oil or avocado oil
- fresh basil
- fresh parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a large baking sheet.
- Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables and the juices to a food processor for a thin sauce and blend until smooth.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, do not add all of the juices.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- OPTIONAL – if you want to avoid a thinner sauce without all the fiber, just press through a sieve.
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
