🧺 Ingredients:

3–4 lbs fresh tomatoes, halved

1 large sweet onion, cut in wedges

5–6 cloves garlic, peeled

½ cup fresh basil leaves

3 tbsp olive oil



1 tsp sea salt

½ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).


2. Arrange tomatoes (cut-side up), onions, and garlic on a baking sheet.


3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper.


4. Roast for 35–45 minutes, until tomatoes are soft and edges caramelize.


5. Cool slightly, then transfer to a blender. Add fresh basil.


6. Blend until smooth (or leave it a little chunky if you like).

To Freeze (2 Ways):

🫙 Freezing in Mason Jars:

Use straight-sided jars (8 or 16 oz, freezer-safe)

Let sauce cool completely before filling

Fill to the freeze line or leave 1½ inches headspace

Label + date the jars

Freeze upright, and let thaw in the fridge before use


Do not use curved-shoulder jars — they may crack.



Freezing in Portions:

Pour sauce into ice cube trays or silicone molds

Freeze solid, then transfer to labeled freezer bags

Great for tossing into soups, pasta, or one-pot dishes


7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.


Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes or oregano
