Roasting tomatoes concentrates their flavor by reducing the amount of liquid in them. They end up tasting sweeter and take on a softer texture, too.

You do not need to peel tomatoes before roasting. Just cut a shallow "X" on the top and bottom. Then once the tomatoes are roasted (the skin will be crinkly and browned in spots), you should be able to easily peel the skins right off.
