Should I use Winter tomatoes or wait til summer?
Has anyone made this with winter tomatoes? Wondering if the flavor is significantly diminished and I should just wait until summer to make this recipe.

But...I’ve also found that store bought plum tomatoes, when roasted, concentrate the tomato flavor, and sweeten to an extent I thought impossible in winter tomatoes. I say go for it, but use plum tomatoes which are meatier than other tomatoes.
Carve out the core, halve them lengthwise, drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast them for about 45 minutes to an hour in a 350-375 oven.
