Tomato Crisp Recipe
Every once in a while two cravings collide and something magical happens. Sometimes it all ends up being one big, tasteless mess and easily forgotten dish. But on occasion, these random food ideas can marry into a lovely dish that we’ll make over and over. So a few weeks ago we were craving a baked tomato dish and aside from our tomato tarts that we love making, the idea of combining a crisp and tomato popped up like a light bulb. We’re introducing, our tomato crisp recipe. It has everything that we love about summer: vine ripened heirloom tomatoes + crisp topping + baked in the oven = perfect savory crisp dish. The math says it all.
If you’re already a fan of fruit crisps (raise your hands high!) and heirloom tomatoes, then combining these two isn’t too far fetched of a culinary idea. Really, the idea of a savory tomato crisp is quite delicious. The juicy, baked tomatoes are essentially and botanically speaking, a fruit anyways. So all you’re really changing is the flavor from a sweet stonefruit or berry profile to a lovely tomato-y sweet flavor.You can visit all our tomato recipes on our tomato page.

Chocolate Stripe Heirloom Tomatoes: What are these lovely tomatoes we’re making them with? They’re chocolate stripe heirloom tomatoes and aren’t they a beauty to behold? These chocolate stripes actually did extremely well in the garden, giving off at least 3 dozen medium to large sized fruit. The colors and striping are very striking and the sweet flavors make this at the top of our heirloom tomato list. It’s definitely going to be on the list for next year because they’re the plant that kept on giving.
Best Tomatoes to Cook for Tomato Crisp?
Roma tomatoes, hot house or tomatoes on the vine or beef steak tomatoes work great. When baking, it’s best to choose a slightly firmer tomato so it’ll still have great texture during baking. If you’re using really ripe and soft tomatoes, you’ll have more of a soft, juicy base. And that’s not a bad thing.
What to Serve with Tomato Crisp?
- Consider this tomato crisp the perfect side dish to a grilled meat dish or roasts like pork tenderloin, roast chicken or prime rib.
- This would be a great pairing to a nice vegetarian salad.
- Serve this on top of pasta! The tomato juices are great to toss with pasta and the crunchy topping is a great texture addition.
- Either way, the textures of the crisp oats and juicy tomatoes underneath add to the essential flavors and colors of Summer. It can’t be beat.

Can You Freeze Leftovers ?
We’re not fans of freezing these leftovers. The tomatoes will be very mushy when thawed. It’s best to just store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy them when its fresh and warm as much as you can!

Looking forward to making this but have a question. Would curly parsley suffice, Italian parsley goes bad in my fridge in a matter of days, and I hate having to keep throwing it out as Italian is more expensive than curly parsley in my produce shops.
Thank you -
