Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm tomatoes. This will ensure that they broil evenly and have the best flavor.
  • Slice the tomatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil. This will help them brown and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and herbs. This will enhance their flavor.
  • Broil the tomatoes on high heat. This will help them caramelize and get a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Keep an eye on the tomatoes while they are broiling. They can burn quickly, so it is important to remove them from the oven as soon as they are done.

Conclusion:

Broiled tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or even as a main course. They are also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of cooking time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
