How to Make Chermoula Roasted Tomatoes

  1. Crush 1 cup of cilantro and 1/2 cup of parsley leaves in a mortar and pestle to release their flavor.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the mortar. Mix thoroughly to form the chermoula paste.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Cut 1 pound of tomatoes in half around the equators and gently remove the seeds with your finger.
  5. Brush the inside of each tomato half generously with the chermoula mixture.
  6. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs evenly inside each tomato half.
  7. Lightly rub a glass casserole dish with olive oil.
  8. Arrange the tomatoes cut-side up in the prepared casserole dish.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
