What is the difference between fire-roasted and oven-roasted tomatoes?

Fire-roasted tomatoes are cooked over an open flame, which imparts a smoky flavor and promotes caramelization, enhancing their sweetness and depth. In contrast, oven-roasted tomatoes are cooked in a controlled environment, typically at lower temperatures, allowing for even cooking and a more concentrated tomato flavor without the smoky notes. Both methods intensify the natural sugars in tomatoes, but the cooking technique significantly influences the final taste and texture.
