Ingredients
4 med tomatoes
olive oil, as needed
1 cup cooked brown rice
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts
2 Tbs chopped fresh basil, divided, or more to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, divided
1 Tbs olive oil
Directions
- Cut tops off tomatoes and scoop out flesh with a melon baller, leaving 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick sides and bottoms. Discard tomato tops and flesh.
- Brush the bottom of an air fryer basket with olive oil.
- Combine cooked rice, Parmesan cheese, goat cheese, walnuts, 1 tablespoon basil, and garlic in a medium bowl. Combine breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl. Fill tomatoes with rice mixture, then sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture. Place stuffed tomatoes into the prepared air fryer basket.
- Cook in the air fryer at 370 degrees until tomatoes are tender, filling is heated through, and topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil.
Cook’s Note:
You can substitute shredded mozzarella for goat cheese, if preferred.
