Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
-
Cut the tops off the tomatoes and carefully scoop out the pulp and seeds, leaving a hollow shell. Reserve the pulp for later use.
-
In a large bowl, combine the diced zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
-
Place the hollowed-out tomatoes in the prepared baking dish and season the insides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Fill each tomato with the vegetable mixture, packing it down gently to ensure they are tightly filled.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture generously on top of each stuffed tomato.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to crisp up the topping.
-
Once done, remove the stuffed tomatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
-
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for a pop of color and extra freshness.
