Roasted Garlic & Tomato Marinara Sauce. Vegan & Gluten Free. Garden Harvest | DIY | Healthy Recipes | Clean Eating

It’s one of my favorite times of the year!    It’s tomato season!

Every year, I plant loads of tomatoes, all kinds of tomatoes!    The first tomatoes to harvest are usually my Sungold tomatoes (one of my very favorite cherry tomatoes.)   Every year, we have bowls and bowls of cherry tomatoes , more than what we know what to do with.   For all the extra tomatoes, this is my go-to recipe.   It’s quick, it’s easy and you can use up all those tomatoes without a lot of effort.

 Roasted Garlic & Tomato Marinara Sauce is one of my favorite recipes for this time of year when we have access to beautiful, fresh tomatoes. This is my go-to recipe for creating an easy and delicious sauce that you can eat now or preserve or freeze for later. Vegan & Gluten Free.

 You’ll notice that the recipe calls for cherry and paste tomatoes.   There’s not a lot of water in these types of tomatoes so they create a nice, thick, rich sauce.  You could absolutely substitute with other types of tomatoes.  I do it all time!   Just keep in mind, that depending on the type of tomatoes you use, your sauce might not be as thick without cooking it down or adding tomato paste.

The recipe I’m sharing with you today is my basic version of Roasted Garlic & Tomato Marinara. Depending on what I have in the house or coming out of my garden, I often add onions and peppers to my sauce.  Just roast them along with your tomatoes, garlic and herbs.
