Ingredients:

  • 1 lb cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 8 fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

Instructions:

  1. Pat the cherry tomatoes completely dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear rather than steam.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Thread 4–5 tomatoes onto each skewer, leaving a small gap between them for heat circulation.
  4. Place skewers on a medium-high grill and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until skins wrinkle and develop deep mahogany-colored blister marks.
  5. Remove from heat and immediately drizzle with balsamic glaze.
  6. Scatter torn basil leaves and shaved Parmesan over the skewers while still hot.
