With only 62 calories per serving, these Parmesan Roasted Campari Tomatoes are a perfect vegetarian summer side dish or salad topper.
Summer is my favorite time of year, not just for the obvious reasons…I’m simply in love with the produce!!! With access to farmer’s markets galore, I cannot eat what I buy fast enough. Living in NJ, tomatoes are a wonderful part of our summer bounty. These Parmesan Roasted Campari Tomatoes are a tasty side dish, or great addition to pasta dishes or Caesar salads.
I like things spicy so I add red pepper flakes, if that’s not your taste preference, simply omit them. With only 62 calories per serving, you can certainly enjoy a few extra with no worries. If you have fresh basil around feel free to add some into the cheese mixture. Using Campari tomatoes is not critical, I like them because they are a perfect size and available in bulk at warehouse clubs.
In keeping with current dietary trends, this recipe is also gluten-free, low carb, keto-friendly and vegetarian to appeal to any family members or houseguests who are following specific dietary restrictions.
I love these tomatoes on top of grilled chicken or fish, as an accompaniment to tuna or chicken salad or smashed into a grilled veggie sandwich.
