  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Slice the tomatoes into approximately 1/2 inch thick slices.
  • Put the tomato slices on a baking sheet, season them with the salt and pepper and top with the balsamic vinegar.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.
  • Prepare the balsamic reduction by heating the balsamic vinegar and the brown sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk until the brown sugar is dissolved and then heat until the sauce is reduced in half and thickened (approximately 8-10 minutes).
