1/2 cup dry-grated Parmesan

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 halved tomatoes
Olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place 4 halved tomatoes, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil until lightly charred, 8 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.

Tips:

  • To select the best tomatoes for broiling, choose firm, ripe tomatoes with no blemishes. Roma, cherry, and grape tomatoes are all good varieties for broiling.
  • Slice the tomatoes evenly so that they cook evenly. If the tomatoes are too thick, they will not cook through properly. Aim for slices that are about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Toss the tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper before broiling. This will help to season the tomatoes and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Broil the tomatoes on high heat for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred. Keep an eye on the tomatoes so that they do not burn.
  • Serve the broiled tomatoes immediately as a side dish or appetizer. They can also be used as a topping for pizzas, salads, or pasta dishes.

Conclusion:

Broiled tomatoes are a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or topping. They are easy to make and only require a few ingredients. The key to making perfect broiled tomatoes is to use ripe, firm tomatoes and to slice them evenly. The tomatoes should also be tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper before broiling. Broil the tomatoes on high heat for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred. Serve the broiled tomatoes immediately and enjoy!
