Here’s a type of tomato that’s pure magic in a can: Fire Roasted Tomatoes! Maybe you’ve seen cans in the grocery store aisle and wondered, what’s so special about this ingredient? Move over regular tomatoes. The flavor difference that fire roasting brings to the table is truly immense. Plus, you can get away with simmering your tomato sauces less time (and who would complain about that?). Here’s the skinny on this special ingredient and why we think it should be in the pantry of every home cook. What are fire roasted tomatoes? When cooking tomatoes on an outdoor grill or with a Cast Iron Skillet, it is best to use high heat.You can use any type of seasoning blend that you want, but to prevent the herbs and spices from burning, you’ll want to watch them closely. Another tip is to place the seasonings onto a grill pan or sheet pan and then place the tomatoes on top of them. This will help to protect them from the heat and flames. Large regular tomatoes are fine, but can sometimes be too juicy. If they're too juicy, they won't char well. Please see the recipe card below for exact ingredient quantities and detailed instructions How to make this recipe Don't turn the tomatoes over half way through the roasting as you'll lose the beautiful juices and any pooling balsamic vinegar. I cannot even begin to describe how good tomatoes are when cooked like this. Yes, you can easily buy a can of fire roasted tomatoes but then you don’t get to play with fire yourself. Where’s the fun it that?

Remember to use firm tomatoes. If they are too soft or you will have mush on your grill. Chose wisely my friends.

However, perhaps using a seasoning that resembles a fire roasting would even taste better than Italian seasonings in this recipe (especially if you are roasting in your oven!).
