1 piece (medium) of Oil-free baked tomato (125 g) has 36 calories. That works out to 29 calories per 100 g. It contains 7.5 g of carbs, 1.8 g of protein, 0.4 g of fat and 2.5 g of fiber. Its 15.6 mg of Vitamin C covers 17% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 30 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Oil-free baked tomato is a simple preparation of ripe tomatoes cooked in the oven without added oil. They can be roasted whole or halved; as they soften and lose some moisture, their sweet-tart flavour becomes more concentrated.
It works as a side dish, spooned over toast, or served with eggs, pasta or grilled foods—uses that suit both Mediterranean-inspired meals and everyday cooking elsewhere. The tender tomatoes pair well with garlic, herbs and a little black pepper. They contain fibre and are a source of lycopene and vitamin C; at 29 calories per 100 g, they make a light way to add vegetables to a meal.

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 oil-free baked tomato, halve the tomatoes and place them cut-side up on a parchment-lined tray. Season with salt, pepper or herbs, then bake until soft and lightly browned at the edges.
Meaty, less watery tomatoes, such as Roma tomatoes, tend to hold their shape best when baked without oil. Juicier tomatoes work too, but they release more liquid and become softer as they cook.
Cut the tomatoes into substantial pieces rather than thin slices, and check them as they bake. For a softer, juicier result, cook oil-free baked tomato in a covered baking dish so it retains more moisture.
No, you do not need to peel tomatoes before baking them without oil. The skin helps the tomato hold its shape; if you prefer it without skin, it is easier to remove after baking, once the tomato has softened.
Store leftover oil-free baked tomato in a covered container in the refrigerator and use it within a few days. Let it cool before refrigerating, and do not leave it at room temperature for an extended time.
Yes, oil-free baked tomato freezes well for later use. Cool it completely, portion it into airtight containers, and freeze; its texture will be softer after thawing, so it works best in soups, sauces, and cooked dishes.
Yes, heating tomatoes can make their lycopene more available for the body to use. Some vitamin C is sensitive to heat, though, so baked tomato does not have exactly the same nutrient profile as raw tomato.
Sometimes, but oil-free baked tomato is usually less liquid and more concentrated than canned tomatoes. It works well in sauces and soups; add water or broth if the recipe needs the extra liquid from a can.
Oil-free baked tomato is done when the flesh is soft and its edges have started to brown, while the pieces still hold together. If you want a jammy texture for a sauce, keep baking until more of the liquid has evaporated.
Oil-free baked tomato pairs well with eggs, grains, beans, pasta, and fresh herbs. Serve it alongside a savory breakfast or add it to a grain bowl or sandwich for a tender, tangy tomato element.
