Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large tomatoes
- 1 cup vegan parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the tomatoes and slice them in half horizontally. Using a spoon, gently scoop out some of the seeds to create a hollow for the filling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped basil, parsley, oregano, and garlic powder.
Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture and stir well to combine until the mixture is crumbly.
Place the tomato halves in a baking dish, cut side up. Lightly sprinkle each with salt and black pepper.
Spoon the herb and cheese mixture generously onto each tomato half, pressing down lightly so the mixture adheres.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the tops of the filled tomatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the tomatoes are tender.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
