Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Roasted Tomato Dip.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a gentle 250°F (120°C).
Step 2
Arrange the halved Roma tomatoes in a shallow baking dish, ensuring the cut sides face upward.
Step 3
Generously drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes, then sprinkle crushed garlic, dried oregano, sugar, and salt evenly across the surface.
Step 4
Slide the dish into the preheated oven and let the tomatoes bake for one hour.
Step 5
After this initial baking period, carefully flip the tomatoes over and allow them to continue baking until they achieve a beautifully caramelized and tender state, which will take an additional one to one and a half hours.
Step 6
Once they are perfectly roasted, remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool to room temperature for about an hour.
Step 7
Finally, transfer the cooled tomato mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until you achieve a silky smooth purée.
Step 8
This rich, flavorful concoction is perfect for sauces, soups, or simply as a delightful dip.
Step 9
Enjoy the fruits of your labor!.
