Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium heat.
Rinse the tomatoes and cut them in half horizontally.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Brush the cut sides of the tomatoes generously with the marinade, saving a small amount for later.
Place the tomatoes cut-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear.
Carefully flip the tomatoes using tongs or a spatula. Brush the tops with the remaining marinade and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, until they are tender but not falling apart.
Remove the tomatoes from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately as a side dish or a flavorful addition to other dishes.
