Grilled tomatoes from the BBQ may be one of the most underrated barbecue dishes. By briefly grilling tomatoes they develop an intense, slightly sweet flavor with a delicious roasted edge.
Combine that with herbs, garlic, olive oil or feta and you have a surprisingly flavorful side dish that pairs perfectly with summer barbecue evenings.
Whether you choose a Mediterranean version with feta, a spicy BBQ rub or sticky tomatoes with BBQ sauce: grilled tomatoes are easy to make and go with almost anything. Serve them alongside grilled meat, fish, potatoes or simply with fresh bread to dip in the juices.
In this blog we share different variations for grilled tomatoes from the BBQ, including herb combinations, serving tips, and tips on which tomatoes to use.
