Roasted Tomatoes

Ingredients:
3-4 large tomatoes
1 tbsp dried oregano or rosemary
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
1 cup basil pesto, store bought or home made
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Procedure:
1. Preheat the oven at 420 degrees F.
2. Slice (not through the stem) all the tomatoes in 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange all the slices in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle oregano, salt, pepper.
3. Bake the tomatoes for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread each tomato slice with pesto and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on the top. Return the tomatoes in the oven and continue baking for another 6-7 minutes until parmesan cheese melted and begin to brown.
4. Carefully serve the tomatoes warm on a platter. Drizzle with some more olive oil and with some extra salt.
Enjoy!
