Begin by rinsing the cherry tomatoes in fresh water to remove any dirt or residues. Take a moment to admire their vibrant colors as you rinse them.
Next, carefully remove the tomato stems by snapping them off. This step is crucial as it makes the tomatoes easier to skewer and ensures they grill evenly.
Now, rub the surface of the tomatoes with vegetable oil. This helps create a barrier against the grill's heat and enhances the flavor.
Sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper over the tomatoes. This seasoning will amplify their natural sweetness and create that irresistible grilled flavor.
Using gentle hands, skewer the tomatoes onto your kabob skewer. Be cautious not to pierce them too hard; you want to maintain their integrity.
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Once it's ready, carefully place the kabobs on the grill. You should hear that satisfying sizzle!
As the kabobs grill, turn them using tongs to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them; you want them to be softened with lovely grill marks.
Grill the tomatoes until they begin to show signs of charring, about 5 to 7 minutes. Don’t worry if they deflate or explode; this will only concentrate their flavor.
Once done, carefully remove the kabobs from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. The smell will be incredible!
