Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 120 ml balsamic vinegar
• 0 olive oil spray
• 10 fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

While the grill is heating, slice each tomato in half horizontally and remove any excess seeds.

Step 3

Lightly spray the cut sides of the tomatoes with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the cut sides of the tomatoes.

Step 5

Place the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the vinegar has reduced by half and becomes syrupy. Stir occasionally and remove from heat once thickened.

Step 6

Carefully place the tomato halves on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, until they have grill marks and the flesh begins to soften.

Step 7

Flip the tomatoes over and grill for another 4-5 minutes on the skin side.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the grilled tomatoes.

Step 10

Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the top as a garnish.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a low-fat appetizer or side dish.
