Notes

  • Tips:
  • This recipe easily multiplies to serve any size crowd. 
  • Can be cooked in an air fryer set to 375 degrees; cooking time will be 10-15 minutes.
  • This recipe is best served hot and fresh from the oven. However, leftovers may be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
  • Tomatoes Provencal isn't mean for long term storage in the freezer. Because of the unique cellular structure of tomatoes, they'll break down to a mush when frozen.
  • Choose firm, ripe tomatoes that feel heavy for their size. 
  • To make breadcrumbs from fresh bread, dry a few slices in the oven set to 350 degrees for a few minutes. Then process the dried bread for crumbs.
  • Substitute dried garlic and parsley if necessary. Use 1/4 tsp dried garlic powder and 1 teaspoon dried parsley in place of fresh.
  • Don't peel the tomatoes, the skin is necessary to help the tomatoes hold their shape while cooking
  • Cooking time is variable depending on the size of your tomatoes. Check frequently to ensure that the tomatoes are holding their shape.
