Ingredients

• 6 whole roma tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Rinse the roma tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Slice each roma tomato lengthwise in half and set them aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful seasoning blend.

Step 5

Brush the cut sides of the tomatoes generously with the seasoning blend, making sure they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Place the tomatoes cut side down on the preheated grill. Allow them to cook without moving for about 4-5 minutes, or until they develop grill marks.

Step 7

Carefully flip the tomatoes and cook on the skin side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender but not falling apart.

Step 8

Remove the tomatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grilled tomatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 10

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the tomatoes just before serving for a touch of sweetness. Serve hot and enjoy!
