Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (204°C).
Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the tomatoes are evenly coated.
Thread the cherry tomatoes onto skewers, making sure to distribute them evenly across each skewer for uniform cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the tomatoes begin to blister and char slightly.
While the tomatoes are grilling, wash the basil leaves and pat them dry. Tear them into smaller pieces.
Remove the skewers from the grill and carefully slide the cherry tomatoes into a serving bowl.
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle the torn basil leaves over the top.
Toss gently to combine and serve immediately as a side dish or topping.
