Instructions
How to Make Easy Oven-Roasted Tomato Bruschetta
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a lined baking sheet.
Prepare Tomatoes: Cut the peeled whole tomatoes in half, gently squeeze out the seeds, and season them with kosher salt. Drizzle with olive oil.
Roast Tomatoes: Place the tomatoes cut-side up on the baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour until slightly dry but juicy inside.
Chop and Mix: Once roasted, finely chop the tomatoes and mix in a bowl with olive oil, chiffonade basil leaves, more salt, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of sugar.
Toast Bread: Slice your ciabatta or baguette, toast until golden, rub with garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
Assemble and Serve: Spoon the roasted tomato mixture onto the warm, toasted bread and serve immediately.
Notes
Drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
