- 10 medium tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 3 big pinches of sea salt flakes
- 2 pinches of freshly ground black pepper
- 20 basil leaves
- 1-2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and slice the tomatoes in half widthways. Place the halves, cut-side up, on a baking pan. Distribute the garlic between the tomatoes, tucking it in so it doesn’t sit on the surface.
Sprinkle with plenty of salt and black pepper, followed by the basil leaves and breadcrumbs. Finish with a generous drizzle of olive oil, then bake for 30-35 minutes, until the tomatoes are oozing and beautiful.
