The Ultimate Guide to Fire-Roasted Tomatoes: Bold Flavor Made Simple

Fire-roasted tomatoes with charred edges placed on a grill rack.

Fire-roasted tomatoes are just regular tomatoes that have been charred over an open flame. This roasting process caramelizes their natural sugars and adds a subtle smokiness. Think of it like grilling veggies—same concept but with tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • Fresh tomatoes (Roma or vine-ripened work best)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • A grill or gas stove

Instructions

  • Prep the Tomatoes: Wash and dry your tomatoes, then brush them lightly with olive oil.
  • Char the Skin: Place the tomatoes directly on the grill grates or over the open flame of your stove. Turn them occasionally until the skins are blackened and blistered.
  • Peel and Use: Once cooled, peel off the charred skins (or leave them for extra smokiness) and use them however you like!
