Recipe Tips:

  • Soak the Skewers: Always soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Choose ripe and fresh cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • Marinate Properly: Let the tomatoes marinate for the full 30 minutes to absorb the balsamic and herb flavors.
  • Preheat the Grill: Ensure your grill is properly preheated to high heat before cooking to get those perfect grill marks.
  • Avoid Overcooking: Grill the tomatoes just until they are slightly charred but not mushy to retain their texture.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: Cool the skewers to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat: Warm a pan over medium heat, add the skewers, and heat for 2-3 minutes, turning as needed.
