Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the Roma tomatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon, leaving a hollow center to stuff.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix until the breadcrumbs are coated and the mixture is evenly combined.
Fill each hollowed tomato half with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.
Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle the tops with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with extra chopped parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy your Tomato Delights!
