Recipe - Roasted Tomatoes With Basil

ROASTED TOMATOES WITH BASIL

This is one of my staple recipes for low carb days. Really easy and super yummy!

Ingredients:

3 Roma tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 c. low fat mozzarella or parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Handful of fresh basil leaves
Salt & pepper to taste

Putting it together:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Slice roma tomatoes in semi thick slices. I usually can get 4 slices including the end piece. Place them in baking pan. Sprinkle or baste with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Top each tomato slice with a large basil leaf or cover with small leaves. Thinly slice garlic and top each tomato with a few slices of garlic. Finally, top each tomato with a pinch of cheese.

Place pan on middle to lower oven rack for 12 - 15 minutes. Take out and let cool for 5 minutes. Eat warm and enjoy!

My fitness pal calculates this at around 294 cals depending on what type of cheese you use and less if you use 1/2 the olive oil.

WW points = approx 7-8 for all three tomatoes with toppings depending on amount of cheese and olive oil which is where the points come from. If you leave off both its 0 pts!!!

Today for lunch I enjoyed mine atop some browned ground turkey with a side of avocado!

Great lunch for a Low Day!
