Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 can olive oil spray
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 10 grams fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Rinse and pat dry the cherry tomatoes. Remove any stems.
Lightly spray the skillet with olive oil spray to create a thin, even coating.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Allow them to cook without stirring for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to char and blister, developing dark spots.
Gently shake the skillet or stir the tomatoes and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all sides of the tomatoes are nicely charred and the tomatoes have softened.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes, stirring to coat evenly.
Season the tomatoes with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, adjusting to taste.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the charred tomatoes.
Serve the charred tomatoes warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a complement to other dishes such as salads, pasta, or grilled meats.
