How to Make Baked Tomatoes Sicilian Style

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold the tomatoes.
  3. Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds. Turn the tomato halves upside down on several layers of paper towels and drain for about 10 minutes.
  4. Arrange the drained tomato halves, cut side up, in the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Fill each tomato half with the breadcrumb mixture.
  7. Season generously with coarse sea salt.
  8. Drizzle each tomato half with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  9. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the tops are nicely browned and caramelized. (Cooking time may vary depending on the size and ripeness of the tomatoes).
  10. Let cool slightly before serving, or serve at room temperature. For best results, do not refrigerate.
