Marinated Tomatoes

We are dwindling down from tomato season here in Oklahoma. A friend told me the other day this is the latest he's ever had tomatoes on the vine!


So whether you're looking for more yummy ways to serve freshly harvested tomatoes (besides giving me a bag, because I didn't garden this year) or you're stuck buying store-bought tomatoes like me, these Marinated Tomatoes will be a win!



I posted about these several weeks ago because I was meal prepping leftovers, and wanted some tomatoes pre-sliced and ready to add to some sweet potatoes and brown rice with greens. Aaaaand as usual, I'm just now getting around to posting the "recipe" which anyone who knows me knows is more of a list of ingredients you measure with your heart.


So here goes...


Marinated Tomatoes


You'll need:

Tomatoes, any variety. I usually have cherry or grape, but any will work! Just cut them either in halves or slices and lay them out on a flat surface.


Juice of a lemon, to taste. I like a lot.


Garlic n' Herb seasoning. I've mentioned my love for this Simply Organics spice blend before-- it is delish on literally everything. As I type this, I've got potatoes roasting with it sprinkled over the top.


Coconut Aminos (maybe 1-2 Tablespoons?)


Salt, pepper, and dried Parsley


Olive Oil (about the same amount as lemon juice)


Fresh Herbs (totally optional, like everything else. You're the boss of your tomatoes.)


Directions

Slice and spread tomato out on a plate or cookie sheet.


Mix the olive oil, coconut aminos, and lemon juice in a small bowl or a mason jar. Drizzle over the top of the tomatoes.


Sprinkle with the dry seasoning blend and spices. If you are using fresh herbs (I really like Dill for these) toss it on the top!


Go about your business and let the tomatoes marinate on the counter for a little while. I usually just finish cooking dinner and they are good to go. Anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour is enough. Or you can 100% just package them and throw them in the fridge right off the bat.


Use these beauties to top your pasta, salad, sandwich, wraps, or basically anything that needs a little fresh kick to it.


If you're meal prepping, portion your toms out into tiny ziploc bags or jars to add to your reheated meal for a fresh zing. Be sure to include a little of the marinade and herbs in your storage.


In the photo, you'll see I had proportioned spinach and micrograms, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes and rice.


>chef's kiss< these tomatoes are magical.


Let me know how you like them and what you use them for!
