Ingredients:

• Salt to taaste

• 3 pounds tomatoes, sliced ½ inch thick

• 1 cup dried breadcrumbs

• 4 large garlic cloves, minced

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

• 1/2 cup vegan parmesan cheese

• 7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Directions:

1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Generously salt sliced tomatoes and let stand. Meanwhile, mix breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley and cheese in a medium bowl. Add ¼ cup of the oil to the crumbs and toss to coat.

2. Brush a large gratin pan (or similar size pan) with another tablespoon of oil. Arrange a third of the tomatoes in the pan and sprinkle with a third of the breadcrumbs; repeat layering twice more. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.

3. Bake tomatoes until they have noticeably reduced in pan and top layer of bread crumbs are golden brown, about 1 hour. Let rest a few minutes and then serve.

4. Enjoy!
