Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 beefsteak tomatoes cut widthwise (cut along their equators, not pole to pole)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for greasing grates
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Chopped parsley for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes to the bowl and gently toss with the marinade.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to high heat. Coat grill grates with olive oil.
- Place tomatoes, cut side down, onto the preheated grill. Grill for 5 minutes with the lid closed, then use a spatula to carefully flip the tomatoes skin side down on the grill and cook with the lid open for 2-3 minutes. Use a spatula to carefully remove the tomatoes off the grill.
- Serve immediately with fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
Tip: Make sure your tomatoes are firm - soft tomatoes may fall through the grates and won't hold their shape.
