Roasting tomatoes low and slow — well, hot and patient — transforms them into something deeply sweet, jammy, and complex in a way that no jarred sauce can touch. The caramelized edges and collapsed flesh create a natural richness that doesn't rely on added sugars or processed thickeners, which makes this sauce a genuinely smart choice for anyone managing yeast overgrowth through diet. Garlic, roasted right in its skin until soft and mellow, brings powerful antimicrobial properties to the table, while turmeric adds an anti-inflammatory boost that fits beautifully within a gut-supportive eating plan. Fresh basil and dried oregano round out the flavor without any of the hidden additives you'd find in store-bought versions. Everything gets blended into a silky, vibrant sauce that's as versatile as it is clean — spoon it over zucchini noodles, use it as a base for baked proteins, or stir it into soups. It's the kind of foundational recipe that makes sticking to a restrictive protocol feel genuinely satisfying rather than like a compromise.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the tomato halves cut-side up on a large rimmed baking sheet. Scatter the onion wedges and unpeeled garlic cloves around the tomatoes. Drizzle with 3 tbsp of the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Roast on the center rack for 40–45 minutes, until the tomatoes are deeply caramelized at the edges, collapsed, and beginning to char in spots, and the onion wedges are softened and golden at the tips.
