Ingredients
- 2 cups grape tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your barbecue or grill to medium heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
Step 2
Rinse the grape tomatoes and pat them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the grape tomatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the tomatoes are evenly coated.
Step 4
Prepare a grill-safe pan (such as a cast iron skillet or a barbecue vegetable basket). Spread the tomatoes in a single layer in the pan.
Step 5
Place the pan on the preheated grill and close the lid. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are softened and slightly charred. They should begin to burst but still hold their shape.
Step 6
Carefully remove the pan from the grill using heatproof gloves or tongs.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired, and serve warm as a side dish, topping, or mix-in for other recipes.
