Baked tomatoes are a simple yet flavorful dish originating from Mediterranean cuisine, often celebrated for their wholesome ingredients and health benefits. Typically, tomatoes are halved, stuffed, or topped with a mixture of ingredients such as breadcrumbs, garlic, herbs like basil or oregano, olive oil, and sometimes cheese, then baked until tender and slightly caramelized. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants like lycopene, tomatoes support heart health and may help reduce inflammation. Olive oil adds healthy fats, while herbs and garlic provide anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. However, the addition of cheese or excessive oil can increase calorie and fat content, so moderation is key if you're watching your intake. Baked tomatoes are versatile, pairing well with grains, proteins, or as a standalone side dish, making them a delicious and nutrient-packed option for a balanced diet.
