Ingredients

• 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Start by making the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine 0.5 cup of balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of honey. Stir the mixture and place it over medium heat.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half and has a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 3

While the balsamic glaze is reducing, prepare the tomatoes. Slice the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

Step 6

Brush each tomato half with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Place the tomato halves on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, until they have nice grill marks.

Step 8

Carefully flip the tomatoes over and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side.

Step 9

Remove the grilled tomatoes from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 10

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top of the grilled tomatoes.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
