Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and black pepper according to taste.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped basil, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and almond flour. Mix until well combined.
Spoon the herb and cheese mixture evenly into each tomato half, pressing lightly to adhere.
Drizzle a little more olive oil over the stuffed tomatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
