Balsamic marinated tomatoes are a delightful side dish that can elevate any meal. They are incredibly easy to make and require just a handful of ingredients. The key to this recipe is to use high-quality balsamic vinegar, as it will greatly influence the flavor of the tomatoes. You can find balsamic vinegar in most grocery stores, but it is worth seeking out a good quality one if you can. The tomatoes should also be ripe and flavorful. Once you have gathered your ingredients, you can marinate the tomatoes for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight. The longer you marinate them, the more flavorful they will be.

- Cook tomatoes (still on vine, if using) in disposable roasting pan, covered with grill lid, carefully turning, until softened and just beginning to split, about 8 minutes.
