Cheesy Roasted Tomatoes are vegetable appetizers that pack a pizza-like punch! Each juicy tomato slice is topped with a pile of sharp, nutty parmesan and melty, creamy mozzarella before being baked to a glorious golden-brown. A little sprinkle of basil on top adds the herbaceous, refreshing fragrance you’d expect from a fresh pizza pie from the oven. Serving up Cheesy Roasted Tomatoes will get everyone excited for the main course, whether that be pasta, chicken, steak, or yes even pizza… but they might just be excited for more of these!
