These Quick and Easy Roasted Tomatoes come together in no time, and take only take 15 minutes in the oven. They make for a great appetizer, snack, side dish, or shareable party dish (or in my case... lunch)! The sweetness of the fresh tomatoes and the savory nature of the olive oil, spices, and cheese are a perfect combination.

Ingredients
8fresh Roma Tomatoes, halved and seeds removed
2Tbspolive oil
1tspItalian seasoning
1/4 - 1/2tspminced garlic (may use more, if desired)
1/4tspsalt
1/2cupshredded mozzarella cheese OR favorite DF substitute
1/2tspdried parsley
Optional
1-2tspbalsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F.
In a medium bowl, stir together olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir in tomatoes, thoroughly coating each piece with oil mix.
Place tomatoes skin side down on a baking sheet. If there is oil left over in the bowl, I like to spoon it into the tomato halves.
Stir parsley into mozzarella cheese. Top each tomato with cheese/parsley mix, distributing evenly amongst the slices.
Bake at 375F for 15-17 minutes (longer if Romas are large), or until cheese is melting and just starting to brown. Serve warm. Optional – drizzle balsamic vinegar over tomatoes before serving.
