How to Make Broiled Tomatoes

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Halve the tomatoes lengthwise and gently squeeze out excess seeds and juices. This helps them cook faster and achieve a more concentrated flavor.
  3. Place the halved tomatoes cut-side up on a baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil, ensuring both halves are coated.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  5. For extra zing, sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  6. 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.
  7. Remove from broiler and let cool for a minute or two before serving.
  8. Optional: Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for an extra touch of freshness and aroma.
