  • 1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Spray an oval baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Set aside.
  • Cut tomatoes into ¼-inch slices.
  • Place on paper towels and sprinkle each tomato slice lightly with salt.
  • Allow the tomatoes to “sweat” for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Layer tomato slices in baking dish.
  • Sprinkle with Romano cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper and oregano.

  • Drizzle with olive oil.

Notes

NOTE: You can eliminate the step of “sweating the tomatoes”, but it really helps if the tomatoes are juicy to do this step so the casserole is not overrun with juice after baking.
