Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 4 pieces Bacon slices
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the Roma tomatoes. Cut them in half lengthwise and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomato halves.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the tomatoes.
Season the tomatoes with salt and black pepper, distributing evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the tomatoes are roasting, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. When cool, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Chop the fresh basil leaves roughly and sprinkle them over the roasted tomatoes.
Top the tomatoes with the crumbled bacon. If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your oven-roasted tomatoes with basil and bacon!
