olive oilto drizzle over halves
salt and pepperto taste
garlic powderto taste
onion powderto taste
6basil leavesfresh (or ground basil to taste)
Instructions
Wash tomatoes and cut out the stem area, then slice in half. (I also slice a little off the rounded bottom so that the tomato halves sit level.
Turn on broiler and set rack to middle position in oven.
Cover a baking pan with aluminum foil and place all the tomato halves next to each other with the rounded sides down.
Drizzle olive oil on top of each half and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and finish with shredded Parmesan cheese. Place on middle rack of oven and broil for 20-30 minutes or until cheese turns golden brown and/or the tomato bottoms begin to slightly collapse.
Remove from oven and serve warm as a meal or as a side to meat, chicken or fish dishes.
