Baked tomatoes with Provençal herbs are a true embodiment of Mediterranean cuisine, where the simplicity of ingredients combines with rich flavors. This recipe originates from the traditions of southern France, where aromatic herbs are used to enhance the natural sweetness of tomatoes. During baking, the fruits reveal their rich taste, acquiring a tender texture with a slight caramel note. Olive oil and Provençal herbs add depth, while salt and black pepper provide exquisite spiciness. These tomatoes are perfect as a standalone appetizer, as a side dish for meat or fish, and also as a base for flavorful sauces and salads. A simple yet elegant dish that fills the home with the warm spirit of the Mediterranean.
