Garden to Table Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce
Cherry tomatoes are my #1 plant in my organic kitchen garden! Mostly because I get TONS of them at once, and also because there are so many things you can do with them! Today, I'm sharing an incredible homemade Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce recipe. It’s loaded with garden fresh veggies and aromatic herbs. There are no added preservatives or chemicals, just vitamins and healthy fats!
Let’s start with my secret ingredient! Carrots!
Fresh picked from the garden, carrots reduce some of the acidity in tomato sauce by adding a subtle sweetness. While you won’t necessarily taste the carrots, it gives a little hint of flavor and also adds a thickness to your sauce.
This recipe is so easy and delicious! You simply fill up a casserole dish with fresh picked tomatoes, onion, carrots, garlic, and a gorgeous herb bundle. Aren’t the colors so beautiful? Topped with a heavy drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and fresh ground salt and pepper, this all goes right into the oven on low for a couple of hours. The house will smell INCREDIBLE.
After roasting low and slow, you’ll remove the herb bundle, pour it all into a high speed blender or food processor, and that’s it! Get ready for the most delicious sauce that you can use on anything! After making it yesterday I told Nate that I could just eat it by itself with a spoon! So maybe I should rename this one Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup? You can decide!
Let me know if you try it out! Be sure to check out my Healthier Eggplant Parm Stacks, where I use this amazing sauce.
