Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the tomatoes and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice each tomato in half horizontally.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to make a marinade.
Brush each side of the tomato halves generously with the marinade, making sure they are well-coated.
Place the tomato halves on the grill, cut side down.
Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Remove the tomatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle over the grilled tomatoes before serving.
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the tomatoes or serve it on the side as a dressing.
