Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Slice the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the tomato halves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring each tomato half is lightly coated.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the breadcrumb mixture and stir well until crumbly and moist.
Evenly spoon the breadcrumb mixture on top of each tomato half, pressing lightly to help it adhere.
Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the tomatoes are tender.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
