A simple and flavorful dish featuring roasted tomato slices seasoned with za'atar spice mix.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the tomatoes.
Wash the tomatoes and slice them into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife helps to achieve clean slices without squishing the tomatoes.
Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper can make cleanup easier.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomato slices.
Use a spoon to control the amount of oil and ensure even distribution.
Sprinkle the za'atar spice mix over the tomatoes.
For a stronger flavor, gently press the za'atar into the tomato slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are hot and slightly softened.
Keep an eye on the tomatoes to prevent overcooking and maintain their shape.
Serve the roasted tomato slices warm as a side dish or appetizer.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
