Two easy steps to some deliciously messy Cinnamon and Allspice Baked Tomato Fun.
Why Roast Tomatoes?
Roasting tomatoes is one of the easiest ways to use up tomatoes that are about to pass their prime. It is also a way to add flavour to a batch of tasteless tomatoes as caramelizing them removed the water an intensifies their flavour. Plus they do taste great roasted.
Tips For Making Roast Tomatoes
- Use any large tomatoes that you like.
- I like slow roasted them but you can speed up the process by increasing the oven temperature.
- Feel free to swap spice (and herbs) to your taste – I have used caraway seeds, garlic, rosemary, and thyme depending on what I am serving them with.
Baked Whole Tomatoes
You can bake whole tomatoes in the oven too. You will not get that caramelising that you get with cut tomato edges and you may need to cook them a little longer.
Baked Tomatoes With Balsamic Vinegar
To make baked tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, simply omit the spices and drizzle on some balsamic vinegar instead. It is that simple.
Baked Tomatoes With Breadcrumbs
Another great idea is to make baked tomatoes with breadcrumbs. Season the tomatoes and add them to the baking tray, then sprinkle on the breadcrumbs and drizzle on a little bit more oil and bake. Just remember that they will no longer be gluten-free.
