How to Make Broiled Tomatoes

Preheat your broiler to high.
Halve the tomatoes lengthwise and gently squeeze out excess seeds and juices. This helps them cook faster and achieve a more concentrated flavor.
Place the halved tomatoes cut-side up on a baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil, ensuring both halves are coated.
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
For extra zing, sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler and broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and slightly charred on top. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from broiler and let cool for a minute or two before serving.
Optional: Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for an extra touch of freshness and aroma.
