Ingredients
- 500 grams cherry tomatoes
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or set up a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly. Set aside.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 5
Transfer the seasoned cherry tomatoes to a grill basket or thread them onto skewers for easy grilling. If using a grill pan, ensure the tomatoes stay evenly spaced for proper charring.
Step 6
Grill the cherry tomatoes for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins start to blister and slightly char. Add the sliced garlic to the grill basket or pan for the final 2-3 minutes to allow it to lightly roast without burning.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the grilled cherry tomatoes and garlic to a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with more fresh thyme or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or topping for grilled meats, salads, or toasted bread.
