Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Cut the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Place the tomato halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Brush each tomato half generously with the Dijon mustard mixture, ensuring the cut surface is fully coated.
In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture evenly over each tomato half.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow the tomatoes to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and enjoy as a side dish or appetizer.
