Easiest Roasted Stuffed Tomatoes

These roasted stuffed tomatoes are fresh, flavorful, and super easy to make. Creamy cottage cheese mixed with garlic, parsley, and a hint of lemon juice gets stuffed into tomatoes, topped with crunchy panko breadcrumbs, and baked until golden. You can even add some grated Parmesan for a little extra bite. Perfect as a side dish, appetizer, or light meal any time of year.

Ingredients:
– 3-4 medium size tomatoes
– 3/4 cups cottage cheese
– 1 garlic clove, grated
– 1 tbsp lemon juice
– Chopped parsley, to taste
– Salt, to taste
– Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan for extra bite
– Panko breadcrumbs for topping
– Oil spray

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut the tops off your tomatoes and scoop out the insides.
3. In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, grated garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and optional Parmesan.
4. Stuff the tomatoes with the cottage cheese mixture.
5. Top each tomato with panko breadcrumbs and lightly spray with oil.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until tomatoes are soft and the tops are golden brown.

This is one of the easiest ways to roast tomatoes. Cut the tops off and scoop out the insides. I like to stuff mine with cottage cheese, garlic, parsley, and a splash of lemon juice. You could also some grated Parmesan if you like. Then I sprinkle on panko breadrumbs and bake until the tomatoes are tender and the tops are golden brown.
