Notes
- For best results, use different types of fresh tomatoes, such as a mix of vine tomatoes, plum tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes. Vine tomatoes tend to be juicier, while plum tomatoes are more fleshy and yield a more concentrated flavour, and cherry tomatoes add sweetness. But if you can't get them, don't worry about it, as any fresh tomatoes will still do the job.
- Don't rush the roasting process. You want to have the tomatoes nicely charred and caramelised for the best flavours. Every oven is different, and some may take a little longer to roast. Generally speaking, it takes about 40-50 minutes.
