US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Remove the stems and cores from the tomatoes and cut into quarters. If the tomatoes are very large, cut into eighths. Spread out in a large glass or ceramic baking dish.
Coarsely chop the garlic cloves and add to the tomatoes.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine and then spread out evenly again in the dish.
Roast 45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are browned and caramelized in spots. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to a blender. Add just enough of the liquid in the pan to measure out 3 cups total (tomatoes and juice). Blend until smooth.

Notes

Storage Information: Store the sauce in glass jars in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 12 months.
