This super flavorful roasted homemade roasted cherry tomato sauce is bound to become a staple in your household. From the aroma to the taste, it’s undeniably delicious. Enjoy your cherry tomato crop all summer long in your favorite Italian dishes.
Cherry tomatoes plants can produce an abundance of ripe tomatoes to where it’s hard to keep up with them especially if you have more than one plant. We have four very large plants giving us handfuls of ripe tomatoes a day right now.
I could tell some of them were starting to get too ripe because they were starting to split. The very ripe ones make the best sauce in my opinion though! They have the strongest tomato flavor, and they give your sauce that nice red color. What better way to preserve them by turning them into a delicious sauce that will keep for months in the freezer.

This sauce is so good on pasta or as the sauce for your pizza. The flavor is unlike store bought sauce. It’s so much better! The roasting process really accentuates the tomato and onion flavors and caramelizes the sugars in them, making it a sweeter sauce.
