A tomato is a fruit – born from a flower, containing seeds. I know in the culinary world this is a stretch, but I dare you to slice a sun-ripened favorite paired with creamy mozzarella, topped with fresh basil, and not find a sweet spot.
You might think a tomato is only mature when red, but varieties exist in colors ranging from common red and orange to green and yellow with varying shapes and textures.
Roasting coaxes out even more flavor than the sun, creating a delicious side to your morning eggs or topping your favorite salad. Or try the season’s best sliced and layered with crispy watermelon, drizzled with a high-quality balsamic, and enjoy summer’s bounty.
