Equipment

Ingredients

8 medium plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise (I used Roma tomatoes)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

Instructions

Preheat broiler lightly spray a broiler pan (or broiler rack) with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, add the tomatoes, thyme, oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat.
Place the tomatoes, cut side up, on prepared pan. Broil (about 6 inches from heat) until tomatoes soften and begin to char slightly, about 10 - 12 minutes.
Arrange tomatoes on a large plater and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped basil.
Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Serving size: 4 tomato halves (1/4th recipe)

If you don't have fresh herbs, you can toss the tomatoes with 1 teaspoon dried thyme and 1 teaspoon of dried basil before broiling. The flavor won't be the same, but the tomatoes will still be delicious.
