Ingredients
- 500 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 can olive oil spray
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 10 grams fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rinse and pat dry the cherry tomatoes. Remove any stems.
Step 3
Lightly spray the skillet with olive oil spray to create a thin, even coating.
Step 4
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Allow them to cook without stirring for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to char and blister, developing dark spots.
Step 5
Gently shake the skillet or stir the tomatoes and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all sides of the tomatoes are nicely charred and the tomatoes have softened.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes, stirring to coat evenly.
Step 7
Season the tomatoes with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, adjusting to taste.
Step 8
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the charred tomatoes.
Step 9
Serve the charred tomatoes warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a complement to other dishes such as salads, pasta, or grilled meats.
