Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes with Garlic & Onion
What it is
These are diced tomatoes that have been roasted over an open flame, giving them a smoky depth. They are packed in their own tomato juice and seasoned with sea salt, garlic, and onion. This combination creates a ready-to-use ingredient that adds a complex flavor profile to many dishes. The roasting process enhances the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and introduces a savory, slightly charred taste.
How people cook with it
This product is a versatile pantry staple, perfect for adding a burst of flavor and texture to a wide range of meals.
- Soups and stews

Simply open the can and add the contents directly to your cooking. They can be simmered into pasta sauces, added to chili or stew bases, or incorporated into baked dishes like casseroles. For a quick salsa, drain some of the juice and mix with fresh cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeños. The fire-roasted flavor also works wonderfully when blended into dips or used as a topping for bruschetta. No need to pre-cook or prepare the tomatoes further.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular diced tomatoes, these have a distinct smoky flavor from the fire-roasting process. The added garlic and onion provide an immediate aromatic base, saving you the step of sautéing them separately. The sea salt ensures balanced seasoning without overwhelming the other flavors.
