Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 15 grams fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 100 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 10 grams fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes before placing them in a medium-sized baking dish.
Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes, then sprinkle the minced garlic, chopped basil, thyme leaves, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper on top. Toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, and chopped parsley. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated and crumbly.
Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the seasoned cherry tomatoes.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the tomatoes are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the Cherry Tomato Crisp rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or pair it with crusty bread for a light main course.
