  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs semi-firm tomatoes (Roma, Heirloom, or Vine-ripened)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons apple vinegar

  • 24 cloves garlic, finely minced

  • 23 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped

  • ½ teaspoon salt (plus more for finishing)

  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice them in half lengthwise.

  • Place cut-side up in a dish. Drizzle with olive oil and apple vinegar.

  • Sprinkle on garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates thoroughly.

  • Place tomatoes cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3–5 minutes.

  • Flip and cook skin-side down for another 4–6 minutes until softened and slightly charred.

  • Remove from grill and rest for 2–3 minutes.

  • Drizzle with extra olive oil and season lightly before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, swap oregano with thyme or basil.

  • Optional garnish: toasted breadcrumbs or chopped fresh parsley.

  • Works well with sandwiches, pasta, or as a side for grilled meats.
