Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash the tomatoes, then cut them in half. If using smaller cherry tomatoes, you can leave them whole.
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
3
Brush the tomatoes with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using a grill grate, lightly oil it to prevent the tomatoes from sticking.
5
Place the tomatoes on the grill, cut-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly softened and lightly charred.
6
Flip the tomatoes and brush them with BBQ sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly caramelize.
7
Remove the tomatoes from the grill and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or a standalone dish.
