How to Make Baked Tomato

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Halve your tomatoes and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
  4. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the halved tomatoes.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender but not mushy. Baking time will depend on the size and ripeness of your tomatoes. For larger tomatoes, you may need to bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh basil leaves (optional).
