Ingredients

• 4 large tomatoes
• 1 cup vegan parmesan cheese
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the tomatoes and slice them in half horizontally. Using a spoon, gently scoop out some of the seeds to create a hollow for the filling.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped basil, parsley, oregano, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture and stir well to combine until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 5

Place the tomato halves in a baking dish, cut side up. Lightly sprinkle each with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Spoon the herb and cheese mixture generously onto each tomato half, pressing down lightly so the mixture adheres.

Step 7

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the tops of the filled tomatoes.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the tomatoes are tender.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
