Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 large garlic clove finely minced
  • 2 large ripe firm tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 slices rustic bread or baguette

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, and finely minced garlic. Set aside.
  2. Slice the tomatoes very thickly (at least 2/3 inch thick).
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add enough olive oil to generously cover the bottom of the pan.
  4. When the oil is hot, carefully add the tomato slices. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Flip the slices over and sprinkle evenly with the parsley-garlic mixture. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. Flip once more and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Tomatoes should be cooked until softened but not falling apart or mushy.
  7. Place the tomato slices on top of your choice of rustic bread or baguette (I use sourdough) and pour any pan juices over.

Notes

  • To cook in the air fryer, brush the tomato slices with a generous amount of olive oil, then season them as normal. Place the slices in the basket of the air fryer and cook at 380°F for 8 minutes or until softened.
  • To prep ahead - prep the parsley, garlic, and red pepper and slice the tomatoes. Store everything separately in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
  • Be sure to cut the tomatoes into thick slices—almost an inch thick. This will help the tomatoes retain their shape while cooking.
