Roasted Garlic Tomatoes Are a Must-Have in my Kitchen
I cannot say enough about how amazing roasted tomatoes taste. There is this deep, rich roasty flavor that can add a beautiful layer of elegance to a number of recipes. If you've been to my blog before, you know that I used them for my Savory Puff Pastry - 2 Ways. I roasted them a few weeks ago for a Roasted Tomato, Asparagus and Gruyere Quiche. If you like Avocado Toast you can put roasted tomatoes on that. Burgers. Salads. All kinds of sandwiches. Just last week I made them for veggie sandwiches for a road trip. Roasted Eggplant, roasted garlic tomatoes, pesto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red pepper hummus and greens. We had a feast! Oh, and if you don't like garlic just skip that part. They are also awesome completely on their own!
