Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element.
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and slice each tomato in half horizontally.
Arrange the tomato halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tops of the tomato halves.
In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the tomato halves.
Top each tomato half with approximately 1 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden, and the tomatoes are warmed through.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the tomatoes to cool for 1–2 minutes.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
