Ingredients

1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1 clove garlic

Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 small, ripe heirloom tomatoes, cored and halved

3 small zucchini, halved lengthwise

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place breadcrumbs, olive oil, basil, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Process, adding water as necessary to create a smooth paste; season with salt and pepper.

Arrange tomatoes and zucchini in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; season with salt and pepper and spread breadcrumb mixture over vegetables. Transfer to oven and bake until vegetables are softened and breadcrumbs are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
