Oven-Roasted Tomato Delight: A Gourmet Snack

Ingredients

- 4 large ripe tomatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).

2. Prepare the baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

3. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between each slice.

4. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the tomato slices, ensuring they are well-coated.

5. Season the tomatoes by sprinkling the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and half of the thyme leaves evenly over the slices.

6. Combine Parmesan and breadcrumbs in a small bowl, stirring thoroughly to mix them together.

7. Sprinkle the cheese-breadcrumb mixture over the tomatoes, aiming for even coverage on each slice.

8. Add the remaining thyme leaves on top for a burst of fresh flavor.

9. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

10. Remove from the oven and allow the tomatoes to cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This lets the flavors meld together and makes them easier to handle.

11. Serve warm and enjoy your Oven-Roasted Tomato Delight as a sophisticated snack.
