Notes

  • Prep time is approximate.
  • Roast time will vary depending on the size of the tomatoes, typically anywhere between 6-8 hours. 
  • Higher temperatures will result in "wet" sometimes burned tomatoes, keep it low and slow for optimal results!
  • Cool and store in airtight containers up to 5 days in the fridge and 6 months in the freezer.
