Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
• 10 fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

While the grill is heating, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, pour in the balsamic vinegar and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the vinegar to reduce by half, until it thickens and becomes syrupy, approximately 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 4

Remove the glaze from the heat to cool slightly as you prepare the tomatoes.

Step 5

Slice each tomato in half horizontally. Brush the cut sides generously with olive oil and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Place the tomatoes cut side down on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

Step 7

Carefully flip the tomatoes using a spatula and continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes, until fully softened and juicy.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the tomatoes from the grill and place them on a platter.

Step 9

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the grilled tomatoes.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy this flavorful, low-carb dish warm or at room temperature.
