Wife’s Labor Day weekend tradition: Buy a 25 lb box (or two if feeling ambitious) of Roma tomatoes at the farmer’s market and roast them with olive oil, garlic, onions, and a bunch of spices. Freeze most for winter, and eat many now :)

Great on sourdough toast (!), on pasta, and I even put two in my lunch burrito instead of salsa just to try taking it in a different direction - was good!

Pan of partially roasted Roma tomatoes during pan shelf rotation about to go back into the oven to continue roasting.

Oven full of pans of roasting Roma tomatoes on cookie sheets and in a  roasting pan.

Saturday’s batch on freshly baked sourdough toast with a triangle of Parmesan on top.  Simple. Delicious.

@GeekAndDad my version was to roast 1/2 with jalapeno, ancho, cumin and red pepper for a ranchero style sauce. The other 1/2 similar to yours. Yum yum

@GeekAndDad If you like olive oil Jessica has a great recipe for roasted with garlic in oil. It’s amazing on toast, pasta, or by itself — especially in the winter!

Finished calculating nutrition values for real and my estimate for water loss was so close I was accurate to hundredths / g (but off in the thousands by a bit).
