Oven Dried Roma Tomatoes

Oven Dried Roasted Tomatoes

Long before I had my own garden I would buy bushels of Roma tomatoes at the local farmers market. I loved making roasted Roma tomatoes low and slow in an oven and finishing them off with some chopped garlic, fresh thyme leaves and olive oil. I would freeze this mixture to add to bowls of pasta or risotto during the long Minnesota winters. When I started gardening myself, I knew Romas would be a must-have in my garden for this reason. Romas are easy to grow, have plentiful fruit, and freeze beautifully so you can have that hint of summer taste long into the fall and winter.
