Get out of the side dish rut with this bright and delicious dish featuring the best of summertime. Showcasing the sweetness of fresh ripe tomatoes, this recipe requires only 10 minutes of simple preparation and comes to the table only 45 minutes. Slow roasted tomatoes topped with crispy breadcrumbs and fresh herbs are a can't miss combination of tender and crunch.
