Ingredients

For the roasted plum tomatoes;

  • 6 plum tomatoes halved, lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the seasoned topping;

  • ½ cup crushed French fried onions
  • ¾ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions

To make roast the tomatoes;

  • Preheat oven to 425°
  • Place the halved tomatoes on a baking sheet (cut side up) and brush them liberally with the olive oil. Season each tomato with salt and pepper and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.

To make the seasoned topping;

  • In a medium bowl, combine the crushed onions, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, lemon zest, and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Stir well to combine.

To complete the dish;

  • Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and spoon a generous tablespoon (or more) of the seasoned topping on each.
  • Return the crumb-topped tomatoes to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes, until the topping turns golden brown.
  • Top the tomatoes with the chopped fresh parsley and serve warm, or at room temperature.
