A perfect peach, strawberry, or blueberry is pretty fantastic in the summertime, but is there anything that tastes more like summer than a perfectly ripe, bright red, juicy, and sweet tomato? We think not! While we’re all about canned tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and tomato paste year-round, we found all the ways to enjoy our favorite summertime fruit (yep, tomatoes are a fruit!). Check out these 70 tomato recipes for ideas—and get on it quick, the season is way too short.

When it comes to tomatoes, you really can’t go wrong, but there are a couple recipes here where one variety will work better than another. Baby grape or cherry tomatoes are great for threading onto grill skewers, like in our tomato gnocchi kebabs or Caprese bites; slicing in half for salads, like our tomato salad or our Greek salad; or pairing with noodles, like in our baked feta pasta or our cherry tomato pasta. You can also roast them all on their own, or turn them into sun-dried tomatoes. Bigger tomatoes like beefsteaks or even Romas are best for when a recipe needs whole tomatoes, like our taco tomatoes; good-sized slices, like for a BLT or our California grilled chicken; or for diced pieces that will hold together well, like in bruschetta or homemade salsa. Our favorite, heirloom tomatoes, are best for recipes where the beauty and variety of tomato slices will be on full display, like our burrata salad, our tomato galette, our Southern tomato pie, or our tomato tart. See if you can find some at your local farmer’s market or community garden for the best flavors and colors.

Looking for tomato ideas, but it’s not summertime? Don’t sweat! Canned tomatoes are picked at the height of ripeness and then canned, so they’ll work for a number of these recipes (particularly the ones that get baked or sautéed). Check out our Italian pasta recipes, our favorite casseroles, and our top winter soups too—a number of them utilize canned tomatoes, to great effect.

## Gazpacho

When late summer rolls around and the tomatoes turn juicy and sweet, we can't get enough of them. When we're not busy scarfing them down in Caprese salad form, we love them in this classic summer soup featuring tomatoes and bell peppers and cucumbers .

## Panzanella Salad

Summer, to us, is a huge bowl of panzanella in the center of the table: generous bronzed croutons tossed with chunks of juicy tomato, shallots, and torn basil in a bright vinaigrette. It might technically be called a salad, but you’ll probably find yourself snacking on it for breakfast, dinner… and dessert.

## Creamy Feta & Tomato Chicken

The key to flavor success with this easy chicken dinner is building it right in the skillet. Start with cooking bacon, then use the bacon fat to sear the chicken breasts for nice and warm browning notes. Now it’s time to get the tomato sauce going, beginning with a buttery base of garlic, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning, then creating depth with two types of tomatoes: cherry and sun-dried. A final sprinkle of feta cuts through the richness, giving each bite the perfect balance.

## Baked Feta Pasta

This is the story about another viral TikTok trend that we kinda sorted wanted to hate... but didn't. Obviously roasting a block of feta with bursting tomatoes is going to be amazing. But is it good enough to break the internet? Our answer, begrudgingly, is yes. It's genius.

## Pizza Sauce

Pizza night will forever be one of our favorite weeknight and special occasion dinners. It gets everybody in the kitchen, each pie is infinitely customizable, and we always feel a special sense of accomplishment after tasting a slice made from scratch. You could go store-bought, but have you every tried going fully homemade? This easy recipe starts with a can of tomatoes and uses a few pantry staples to transform it into the ideal base for a homemade pie.

## Tomato-Butter Roast Chicken

Tomato butter works wonders on a whole chicken. Not only does it keep the bird moist, but the healthy dose of tomato paste brings a slightly sweet, umami acidity, which chicken could often use.

## Pesto-Stuffed Burrata Bombs

Why have just mozzarella when you can have burrata? Why have just burrata when you can have pesto-stuffed burrata? This recipe is the best way to upgrade the creamy cheese of the moment. It takes everyone’s favorite cheese to the next level by injecting it with delicious pesto and serving it with juicy roasted tomatoes (specifically cherry tomatoes that have been tossed with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then slow-roasted to perfection).

## Tomato Tini

Instead of olive brine, this martini gets its rich flavor and vibrant color from tomatoes. If you’re skeptical, hear us out: Think of this cocktail as a cleaner, crisper version of a Bloody Mary. And the botanical flavors of gin pair surprisingly well with the tomato, and evokes flavors of both the fruit and the leaves of the plant (an aroma that has inspired many trendy candles, BTW).

## Gnocchi Foil Packets

These foil packets trap in steam from the wine and juices from the tomato and corn as everything grills, which in turn cooks the gnocchi to perfectly tender while infusing the pasta with all the flavors of the dish. Bonus: Some of the meal browns a bit on the bottom right before it finishes cooking, adding extra flavor.

One-pan dinners are a year-round thing, but there’s always a way to make them seasonal and sensational. This amped-up take on succotash features blistered tomatoes and charred corn tossed with onion, bell peppers, lima beans, and seared Cajun-spiced shrimp, then topped with a flurry of torn basil. The protein-packed beans make this meal super-filling, but nobody would blame you if you went back for seconds.

Delish broke the mold with Marry Me Chicken, so naturally, we’ve set out to bring you every variation of the OG. For this creamy meatball version, we combined ground chicken and pork with garlic, fresh thyme, and grated Parmesan, seared them in sun-dried tomato oil, then tossed them in a garlicky, sun-dried tomato-studded cream sauce before topping the whole thing with torn fresh basil. And just like all of the Marry Me dishes before, the sauce is something to obsess over.

## Greek Feta Dip

Loaded with cucumbers, tomatoes, and feta, this dip was inspired by Greek salad. For a smoother, fluffy consistency, we added yogurt and cream cheese. Full disclaimer: This recipe makes a lot of dip and can easily be halved. But we've never had a problem demolishing it with some pita bread.

15

## Southern Tomato Pie

Fillings for Southern tomato pies always include tomatoes, mayonnaise, plenty of cheese, and Dijon mustard, but our version's got a flavorful upgrade: chopped pimiento peppers, which lend the filling all the delicious richness of pimiento cheese dip.

Sopa de fideo is a low-lift Mexican-style soup consisting of toasted fideo noodles in a base made of pureed tomato, onion, and garlic. If you love chicken noodle or tomato soups, then consider this version as its fabulous cousin. It’s a fragrant and simple soup you can turn to in the winter via canned tomatoes or summer with tomatoes off the vine, too.
