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.
