Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 10 pieces Fresh basil leaves, torn
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and thoroughly dry the cherry tomatoes to remove any moisture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, ensuring they are in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until they begin to char.
Gently shake the pan or stir the tomatoes, then add the thinly sliced garlic. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic is golden brown and fragrant and the tomatoes are evenly charred.
Remove the skillet from heat and add the torn basil leaves to the tomatoes, stirring gently to combine.
Season the charred tomatoes with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the tomatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
Serve warm as a keto-friendly side dish.
