Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash the Roma tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Olive Oil Mixture

    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Coat the Tomatoes

    Place the tomatoes in a large bowl and drizzle the olive oil mixture over them. Toss gently to coat all the tomatoes evenly.

  2. 6

    Grill the Tomatoes

    Place the coated tomatoes on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are charred and have grill marks.

  3. 7

    Remove and Cool

    Once grilled, remove the tomatoes from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the charred tomatoes to a serving plate, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves, and serve warm.
