Notes

Chef Jenn's tips

It's really quite hard to mess up smoking tomatoes, but here are a few tried and true tricks to help them turn out perfectly every time:
  • Make sure your tomatoes are cut nice and thick. Thin slices can stick to the grill pan or can disintegrate when you try to move them
  • Use a grill pan versus a solid bottom container to let the smoke circulate more easily
  • Don't over-season them. Let the tomato flavor shine through with just a bit of salt, pepper, and garlic. A touch of fresh rosemary or thyme are also nice additions
  • Low and slow is the name of the game - don't turn the heat up too high. 225-F is my favorite sweet spot for roasting tomatoes
