Roasted tomatoes with garlic and parsley

This Recipe includes

	Tomatoes – any type of tomatoes will do, such as campari, roma or plum tomatoes.
	Olive oil – traditional ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine to cook the tomatoes.
	Garlic – you can use crushed garlic or garlic powder if you are in a hurry.
	Parsley – fresh parsley is best, but you can use frozen or dried parsley as well.
	Oregano – dried oregano works well
	(Optional) breadcrumbs or parmesan cheese for a gluten-free version.
	Pinch of salt and pepper

Cooking tips

• Just about any type of tomatoes will do, such as campari, roma or plum tomatoes. You could also use smaller cherry or grape tomatoes and roast them whole. I would just recommend avoiding steak tomatoes as they are quite large, and not quite as succulent.

Why we love it

If you are wondering what to do with all those tomatoes you have in the fridge, this roasted tomato recipe is what you are looking for. A fun and easy starter, this recipe for roasted tomatoes is delicious and helps you get your daily dose of veggies in.

With a touch of garlic and parsley, roasting really concentrates the juices of the tomato and caramelizes its flavor. Rather than a sweetness, the garlic and parsley creates a tanginess that will leave the whole family wanting more.

What to serve with it?

This roasted tomatoes with garlic and parsley goes well with just about anything. Try serving it with lamb chops and a mint sauce, or quenelles and rice.

You can also serve it with a light pasta dish or a heavier salad like the salad niçoise.

How to store it?

If you would like to prepare this roasted tomatoes dish in advance, I would recommend preparing it in a bake pan and leaving it like that in the fridge.

Then when you are ready to cook them, place them in the oven and bake them directly for an extra 5-10 minutes, (instead of pre-cooking on the stove top).
