And I'm kicking myself for losing that year.
It's freakin' tomato candy. It's like the best tomato sauce you ever had. It's a whole summer's worth of tomatoes in one bite. Even with Romas from the grocery store. I can't even imagine what these would be like with tomatoes fresh from my garden. I think my head may explode.
Yeah, make these. Yes, turn on your oven, even if it's hot and nasty outside. It's only 200 degrees, you won't even feel it. I know it's for 6 hours. Doesn't matter. It's worth it.

A slow-roasted tomato is a thing of beauty.
Hey JS -
It sure is! Thanks for visiting!
Oh, I bet the flavors in that are something else. Just beautiful.
Welcome to the slow-roasted tomato club! I make these every summer, and in February, when I'm craving good tomato flavor and can't find a decent tomato anywhere, I'll reach into the freezer and pull out a container of these slow-roasted beauties. Added to canned tomatoes, they make the most amazing sauce.
I can't wait until my heirlooms are ripe & I can do this
Welcome, indeed! I was muchly pleased to see my favorite Cascade meaty tomatoes at the market, already. Must roast, must roast!
PS I'd recommend trying the full 10-12 hrs. Seriously.
Hi NP - I can't wait to do it again!
Hi Lydia - I'd love to freeze some, but they're so good I don't think they'd make it into the freezer!
Hi kat - I want to try with my tiny yellow tomatoes. Wish I had heirlooms.
Hi Alanna - I'll try the 10-12 next time (tonight maybe!).
Thanks for the timely reminder! I'll try these again this year!

Hi LJ -
Thanks for visiting, & thanks for the kind words!
I consider this one of the best things I've learned since I started blogging! Slow roasted tomatoes are just so amazing.
Hi Kalyn -
You're right. Even no-knead bread doesn't top these tomatoes!
I love slow roasting anything but especially tomatoes. I love how sweet they become.
Hi Pam -
I had no idea how delicious these were, now I'm addicted!
Love slow roasted tomatoes! The photo is great! Now if only my garden tomatoes would turn red!
Hi Paula -
Don't feel bad, my garden ones are green too! These were Romas from the store :-)
Oh my goodness gracious, I honestly did not hear about slow-roasted tomatoes until reading your blog! WHERE HAVE I BEEN ALL YEAR?! Haha thank you so much for the inspiring info. I checked out all the other recipe links you provided and don't know which one to choose >_<
But at least I know about these things now :)
Hey Krizia -
Try them, you won't be disappointed!
