1 piece (medium) of Roasted Tomato (80 g) has 18 calories. That works out to 22 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.8 g of carbs, 0.9 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat and 1.2 g of fiber. Its 10.4 mg of Vitamin C covers 12% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Roasted tomato is made by cooking fresh tomatoes in an oven or pan until their flesh softens and the cut edges brown. As they cook, some moisture evaporates, concentrating their naturally sweet, tangy flavour; the skins may wrinkle while the insides stay juicy. It is a simple preparation rather than a dish tied to one particular place.
Serve it warm as a side, spoon it over toast, or add it to eggs, pasta and grain bowls. Olive oil, garlic and herbs complement its sweetness. Roasted tomato is light in calories and provides some fibre, so it works well in a lighter meal; pair it with beans, eggs or cheese when you want something more filling.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

To make roasted tomatoes, halve them, arrange them cut-side up on a baking tray, and season with olive oil, salt, and herbs. Roast until soft and browned around the edges; leave space between pieces so they roast rather than steam.
Meaty, ripe tomatoes that still feel firm are best for roasted tomatoes. Roma or plum varieties tend to hold their shape and release less water, while larger, juicier tomatoes work well when you want a softer, saucier result.
Yes, cherry tomatoes roast very well whole. Toss them with a little oil and seasoning, spread them in a single layer, and roast until their skins wrinkle and some begin to burst. They make an easy topping for pasta, toast, or salads.
No, you do not need to peel tomatoes before roasting them. The skin helps the pieces hold together as they cook, and you can slip it off easily afterward if you prefer a smoother texture for sauces or soup.
Roasted tomatoes can turn watery if the variety is especially juicy, the tray is crowded, or the oven is not hot enough. Space the pieces apart and use a rimmed tray so moisture can evaporate without spilling.
Roasted tomatoes work in pasta, soups, sandwiches, omelets, and grain bowls. Mash them into a quick sauce, spread them on toast, or serve them alongside roasted vegetables, fish, or meat.
No, roasted tomatoes are not the same as sun-dried tomatoes. Roasted tomatoes stay soft and moist, while sun-dried tomatoes lose much more water and become chewy, concentrated, and more intense in flavor.
Roasted tomatoes keep for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool them and refrigerate them promptly after cooking, then reheat them thoroughly before serving.
Yes, roasted tomatoes freeze well, although thawing makes them softer. Freeze them in portions in an airtight container and use them in sauces, soups, or stews, where the change in texture will not matter.
Yes, heating tomatoes can make their lycopene easier for the body to absorb. Roasting does not make tomatoes universally more nutritious, though: heat can reduce some sensitive vitamins, so both cooked and fresh tomatoes can fit into meals.
