Share This Recipe

SERVES: 8

COOK TIME: 15 Min

Many restaurants serve baked tomatoes as a colorful, edible garnish to a main dish meal. But they're really so good, they deserve to be considered a side dish, and one that is perfectly acceptable on a diabetes diet. Our Parmesan-Basil Tomato Bake is so delicious you'll wonder why you never made it before!

What You'll Need

2 slices light-style wheat bread
4 tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil

What to Do

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Process bread in blender, one slice at a time, to make soft breadcrumbs.
Arrange tomato halves in shallow baking pan. Mix breadcrumbs, cheese, and basil and sprinkle over tomato halves.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until topping browns.
