Baked Parmesan Tomatoes
From Minnie: I tend to try to cook by color! A sprinkle of Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil transform tomatoes into a beautiful side dish. Serve them alongside some BBQ pulled chicken, some roasted leeks, a lovely cabbage slaw, and a delicious orange coconut salad, and you have a nutritious, delicious and very healthy and low calorie meal!

About Kelli Miller
Just this weekend I was thinking of how to make tomatoes with parmesan. I knew I didn’t want to have them breaded but wasn’t sure how it would work, and now I stumble on your recipe through the linky party. Coincidence much? Thank you for posting, they look really good.
I have a really similar recipe sitting in my pile of food to try. This looks so good and just reminded me that I really need to make them!
Those tomatoes sound delicious!
That looks wonderful! I love everything to do with tomatoes!

YAY! Thanks so much, Patty! I will head to your site ASAP.
Simple but perfect by the sound of it!
It’s great to add this to “ways to fix tomatoes” when you start to get an abundance from your garden!! They look delicious.
What a great recipe!
It’s so easy to make and it looks so delicious
I have never heard of bacon salt.
Hi Kelli!

First of all, these look delicious! Hubby doesn’t care for tomatoes, but I could eat these all my own. Second of all, I never knew there was such a thing as bacon salt. That sounds SOO good.

I have been sharing these yummy tomatoes in many of my cooking classes. I like your addition of bacon salt…should add a new dimension to the flavors. Often I use a Mediterranean seasoning…it’s good, too. It’s a wonderful recipe to prepare on a Silpat.
