Ingredients

  • 3 lbs fresh tomatoes, halved and cored
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 medium sweet onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 large carrot, roughly chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • grind black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Spread out tomatoes, onion, carrots, and garlic into an even layer. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the tomatoes are soft and a little browned on the edges. Take out and allow to cool.
  • Add to blender and pulse until sauce is as smooth as you like it.
  • Warm the sauce to serve immediately or pour into a container to store in the refrigerator. If freezing, pour into a container or into freezer bags.

Notes

  • Tomatoes: Use whatever type you have on hand. This is a great time to use ones which aren’t very pretty.
  • Skinning: This is a personal choice. To skin just pull them off once you take the tray out of the oven. However, if you puree the sauce you won’t notice them at all. 
  • Measuring: The recipe is forgiving so no need to measure too carefully.
  • Storage: Keep in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
