Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
- 10 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, pour in the balsamic vinegar and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the vinegar to reduce by half, until it thickens and becomes syrupy, approximately 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Remove the glaze from the heat to cool slightly as you prepare the tomatoes.
Slice each tomato in half horizontally. Brush the cut sides generously with olive oil and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Place the tomatoes cut side down on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Carefully flip the tomatoes using a spatula and continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes, until fully softened and juicy.
Once cooked, remove the tomatoes from the grill and place them on a platter.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the grilled tomatoes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy this flavorful, low-carb dish warm or at room temperature.
