Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they start to soften and release their juices.

Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and add the balsamic vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
