Easy Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
3
  • 6 cloves garlic (peeled)
  • 2 cups Roma tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully heated for even roasting.
  2. Prepare garlic

    Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil.

    This will help them become soft and sweet.
  3. Roast garlic

    Place the wrapped garlic in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes.

    Check for a golden brown color and soft texture.
  4. Cook tomatoes

    In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped tomatoes, salt, and pepper.

    Cook for about 10 minutes until tomatoes soften.
  5. Combine and blend

    Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze it into the saucepan with tomatoes and blend until smooth.

    Use an immersion blender for ease.
