Baked Tomato Halves image

These make a perfect side to chicken, beef, seafood, anything Italian, or a rustic soup. Super easy to assemble, it just takes a bit of time to bake. Use any type of tomato you have on hand. Make as many servings as you like depending on size of the tomatoes. I serve 1/2 of a large tomato or several smaller halves per person. Adjust seasonings based on the size and amounts used. I basically just dust the tomatoes with the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Enjoy! 10/09 EDIT to add. Baking time can be done at any oven temperature, adjust bake time accordingly.

1 large tomatoes, halved, substitute any size
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, sprinkle
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, sprinkle
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground, sprinkle
4 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs, sub. plain
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Bake for 20-30 minutes until the tomato is collapsing and soft. Baking time will depend on the size of your tomato halves. If making smaller tomatoes, shorten the time.
