Description

Broiled tomatoes topped with Parmesan cheese are a delicious side dish for any meal.

• 4 Roma tomatoes

• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning

• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

1 Preheat a broiler according to manufacturer's recommendations. Line a baking sheet or small sheet pan with aluminum foil.

2 Slice tomatoes in half crossways. Slice thin slices off of the round part of the tomato halves so they will sit straight on the pan.

3 Place tomato halves on the prepared pan and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.

4 Place seasoned tomatoes under the broiler and broil about 4 minutes. Be sure to watch carefully, so they won't burn.

5 Sprinkle 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese on each tomato half, and return to the broiler.

6 Broil until Parmesan cheese is melted and bubbly, 45 seconds to 1 minute.

7 Transfer broiled tomatoes on a plate or serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
