Skinny Roasted Vine-Ripe Tomatoes

Skinny Roasted Vine-Ripe Tomatoes are so succulent and mouthwatering. This simple side dish is so big on taste. Wedges of vine-ripe tomatoes are first brushed with olive oil on a large cookie sheet. Then they’re seasoned with salt and pepper, thyme, basil, chives, marjoram, oregano and rosemary. I chose fresh herbs (except for the marjoram) which increased the flavors exponentially. Yum.

You can’t get much better than this. These tomatoes are savory and so flavorful. For those of you with gardens, this quick and easy recipe is a great way to use up vine-ripe or beef-steak tomatoes! (Or any kind of tomato for that matter!). It’s extremely low calorie, healthy, gluten free and vegan.

A couple of weeks ago, I asked a friend if she would take some pictures of me for my blog. The one I had been using was pretty yucky and I wanted something without a horrid mustard yellow background! Sorry, it’s not my favorite color and we’ve painted every inch of this house since we moved in two and-a-half years ago to get rid of it! I offered to buy her family dinner at her favorite restaurant and she said, yes! The five of us enjoyed a delicious meal at Campuzanos Restaurant here in town and then afterward we went to a local park for pictures. It has some nice bridges, old gnarly trees, and dated buildings that are great  backgrounds for shots.

Corey’s husband, John, is a grocer so he is always bringing us food whenever we have them over for a meal. He gave us two two-pound containers of large strawberries and a batch of heirloom tomatoes. The tomatoes sat in the fridge about a week. I finally decided I needed to use them up before they went bad. I ended up serving them with Herb Chicken with Roasted Garlic when my sister was here last week. She is really trying to watch her weight so this was a great side dish for her….low calorie and healthy.

If you want quick and easy, this is it! If you want economical, this recipe will do it! If you want the convenience of oven roasting, this recipe is for you. And, if you need healthy, low calorie, gluten free and vegan, Skinny Roasted Vine-Ripe Tomatoes should be right up your alley!

When I initially published this recipe in May 2014 I didn’t use near as many herbs. The recipe was pretty simple and I only used dry herbs instead of fresh. I wanted to remake the recipe, but I haven’t been able to find heirloom tomatoes in grocery stores for over a year. I finally decided to remake the recipe (August 2018) but chose to use vine-ripe tomatoes instead. I added about five more fresh herbs so the recipe came out absolutely scrumptious.

We have some friends from our church who live down the street from us. They provide foster care for needy children. They got a newborn last week so several gals from our church are bringing them meals to help out. I served this fantastic side along with an amazing Chicken Tetrazzini, Creamy Grape Salad, Rapid Rise Italian Herb Bread and a terrific Cherry Delight Cake. They were delighted with having a home-cooked meal they didn’t have to fuss with.

Skinny Roasted Vine-Ripe Tomatoes will sure make your mouth water. Plus, they’re the perfect accompaniment for any side dish. We loved this amped up version and believe you will too.
