A delightful dish of roasted cherry tomatoes with a crispy herb and cheese topping, perfect as a side or appetizer.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the tomatoes.
Place the cherry tomatoes in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
Ensure the tomatoes are evenly coated for consistent roasting.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper.
Seasoning at this stage allows the flavors to penetrate the tomatoes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the parsley, parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even topping.
Sprinkle the herb and cheese mixture over the tomatoes.
Distribute the topping evenly for a consistent crust.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Keep an eye on the tomatoes to prevent overcooking.
Switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
Broiling adds a nice crispy texture to the topping.
Serve the roasted tomatoes hot or warm.
Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh touch.
