Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Slice the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle the tomato halves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring each tomato half is lightly coated.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the breadcrumb mixture and stir well until crumbly and moist.

Step 6

Evenly spoon the breadcrumb mixture on top of each tomato half, pressing lightly to help it adhere.

Step 7

Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the tomatoes are tender.

Step 8

Remove the tomatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
