ROASTED TOMATOES
Roasting tomatoes is one of those simple but awesome ways to compliment any meal, and that’s not just for lunch but breakfast too. For this recipe, I used fresh vine tomatoes and mini-plum tomatoes. While the fresh vine tomatoes are sweeter, the mini-plum tomatoes have a wonderfully firm texture that makes them perfect for roasting. Moreover, this oven roasted tomatoes recipe is quick to prepare and leave the oven to do the rest. Another great thing about this recipe is that is not only delicious, but affordable and nutritious too.

Furthermore, this is a great recipe to make when you have loads of tomatoes and you don’t want them to go to waste; therefore, by making this recipe you can reduce food waste too.
