Roasted Basil Parmasean Tomatoes

These tomatoes heighten the taste of sandwiches such as a BLT or just about anything else you would put a sliced tomato on.  Of course, this is for off-season only. You would never do this do a farm-ripened fresh tomato.

Ingredients

• 1 pound of Roma tomatoes (depending how much you need)
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup parmasean cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic
• Salt and pepper

Making It

• Slice the tomatoes 1/4 inch thick, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
• With a steel blade in the food processor, pulse the olive oil, parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper a few times
• Drizzle basil cheese oil on the tomatoes

Time to Cook

• Set oven to 400 degrees and roast the tomatoes for 20-25 minutes
• Set aside and let cool
