Ingredients
- 4 large tomatoes
- 1 cup dairy-free cheese (such as almond mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut them in half horizontally and scoop out a bit of the inner flesh to create a small cavity.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free cheese, olive oil, basil, parsley, oregano, garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4
Place the tomato halves, cut side up, into a baking dish. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each tomato half.
Step 5
Spoon the herb and cheese mixture into each tomato half, pressing lightly to secure the filling.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tomatoes are tender.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm as an appetizer or a side dish.
