Romas are the perfect tomato to roast because their moisture content is lower than most other tomatoes (grape tomatoes are great roasting tomatoes, too!) I will roast these, and keep them in the fridge for several uses – summer salsas, gazpacho, salad, pizza sauce, etc.

I created this recipe for Albertsons/Safeway,  and you can see it made here.  For many more healthy recipes, you can follow them on Pinterest here!
