1 piece (medium) of Oven-Roasted Tomato (80 g) has 18 calories. That works out to 22 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.4 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 30 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Oven-Roasted Tomato is made by baking ripe tomatoes until their flesh softens and their juices become concentrated. It is a simple preparation rather than a dish tied to one particular cuisine; cooks often add a little olive oil, garlic or herbs, depending on how they plan to serve it.
The edges turn lightly browned while the centre stays tender, with a sweet-tart flavour that works as a side, on toast, or alongside eggs and grilled vegetables. Prepared without much added oil, it is a light option, with 22 calories per 100 g. Use just enough oil to coat the tomatoes, and serve them warm or at room temperature.

To make oven-roasted tomato, rinse and dry the tomatoes, then halve them and place them cut-side up on a baking tray. Add olive oil, salt, and any seasonings you like, then roast until tender with lightly browned edges.
Oven-roasted tomato is commonly cooked at 400°F (200°C) for about 25–40 minutes. The exact time depends on the tomato size and your oven; look for softened flesh and browned edges. Lower heat for longer gives a more concentrated result.
Meaty, ripe tomatoes that still hold their shape work well for oven-roasted tomato. Halve larger tomatoes and leave cherry tomatoes whole. Juicier varieties are fine too, but they release more liquid into the pan while cooking.
No, you do not need to peel tomatoes before making oven-roasted tomato. The skin softens in the oven and helps the halves keep their shape. If you prefer peeled tomatoes, briefly blanch them first and slip off the skins.
Oven-roasted tomato releases water as it cooks, especially when the tomatoes are very ripe. Space the pieces out and keep them cut-side up to help moisture evaporate. The flavorful juices left in the pan can be added to pasta sauce or soup.
Oven-roasted tomato pairs well with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic, oregano, thyme, and basil. Add dried herbs and garlic before roasting; scatter fresh basil over the tomatoes afterward so its aroma stays bright.
Oven-roasted tomato can be served warm or at room temperature alongside eggs, grilled vegetables, fish, or meat. It also works on toast, stirred into pasta, or spooned over grains, with the pan juices adding extra flavor.
Oven-roasted tomato keeps for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator once cooled. Reheat it thoroughly or serve it at room temperature, and do not leave it sitting out for an extended time.
Yes, oven-roasted tomato freezes well. Let it cool, divide it into portions, and pack it in freezer-safe containers or bags. Thawed pieces are softer, so use them in soups, sauces, and cooked dishes rather than expecting a firm texture.
Not exactly: oven-roasted tomato is usually soft and juicy, while sun-dried tomato is much drier and more concentrated. You can substitute oven-roasted tomato in sauces or sandwiches, but drain excess liquid and expect a milder, fresher flavor.
