Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the tomatoes and slice each in half horizontally.
Brush the cut sides of the tomatoes with extra-virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
Season the tomatoes with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt.
Place the tomatoes on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 5-6 minutes until grill marks appear and the tomatoes begin to soften.
While the tomatoes are grilling, prepare the balsamic glaze by placing balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in honey or maple syrup, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 8-10 minutes until it has reduced by half and reached a syrupy consistency.
Once the glaze is ready, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Carefully flip the tomatoes over on the grill and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the skin side.
Remove the grilled tomatoes from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the grilled tomatoes.
Garnish each serving with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Grilled Tomatoes with Balsamic Glaze.
