Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 garlic finely minced, large clove
- 2 tomato large, ripe, firm
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
- 2 lices Rustic bread or baguette
Instructions
- Combine the chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, and finely minced garlic. Set aside.
- Slice the tomatoes very thickly (at least 2/3 inch thick).
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add enough olive oil to generously cover the bottom of the pan.
- When the oil is hot, carefully add the tomato slices. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the slices over and sprinkle evenly with the parsley-garlic mixture. Cook for another 2 minutes.
- Flip once more and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Tomatoes should be cooked until softened but not falling apart or mushy.
- 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.
