I love tomatoes! I burn with unearthly love for them! And doctors say that this is correct, because a ripe tomato is not just a tasty and bright vegetable, but also a source of vital substances - potassium, magnesium, iron, as well as lycopene - a strong natural antioxidant and serotonin - the “happiness hormone”! But what’s interesting is that after heat treatment, tomatoes are much healthier than just fresh ones! Therefore, I offer you this simple but very tasty recipe - bake tomatoes in the oven with aromatic herbs, and then season with garlic. Divine, believe me! You take such a tomato by the tail, take a bite... and the fragrant “lava” completely takes over your taste buds. There is no use in telling, you have to try it! Oven-baked tomatoes with aromatic herbs and garlic are the perfect addition to a side dish of potatoes, rice or pasta. I also recommend serving them as an independent side dish for meat and poultry. But I can easily eat them just like seeds, leaving only a pile of tails, and then dip the bread into the resulting sauce.
