Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium Red onion
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash the tomatoes and cut them into quarters. Peel and roughly chop the red onion. Peel the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Place the tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized with charred edges.

Step 5

Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 6

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a food processor or blender and pulse a few times to create a chunky texture. Avoid over-puréing to retain some texture.

Step 7

Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan. Add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 8

Stir well to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and let the ketchup simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, vinegar, or sugar to suit your preference.

Step 11

Let the ketchup cool completely before transferring it to a sterilized jar or airtight container.

Step 12

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Serve chunky-style roasted tomato ketchup with your favorite dishes!
