Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly.
- Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds. Place them cut-side up in a baking dish.
- In a food processor, tear the slice of whole-wheat bread into pieces and add the garlic cloves.
- Pulse until the mixture becomes coarse crumbs.
- Spread the garlic crumbs evenly over the top of the tomatoes.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the garlic crumbs are golden brown.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, mix the ricotta cheese with chopped basil leaves in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Once the tomatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven.
- Allow them to cool slightly, then dollop a spoonful of the ricotta and basil mixture on top of each roasted tomato half.
- In a large salad bowl, toss the mixed greens with the vinegar until evenly coated.
- Serve the roasted tomatoes with garlic crumbs and ricotta on a plate alongside the prepared salad.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the garlic crumbs before roasting.
- If you don't have whole-wheat bread, any type of bread crumbs can be used.
- Make sure to let the tomatoes cool slightly before adding the ricotta mixture to prevent it from melting too quickly.
- Fresh basil adds a wonderful aroma and flavor, but you can substitute with parsley or thyme if preferred.
These roast tomatoes with garlic crumbs are a delightful dish that highlights the succulent flavors of fresh tomatoes and aromatic garlic. Paired with creamy ricotta and fresh basil, the dish is elevated to a gourmet experience. Serve it as a side or light main course with mixed greens for a satisfying and wholesome meal.
