Pat the tomatoes and basil fully dry after rinsing — any leftover water dilutes the balsamic glaze and keeps it from clinging properly.
Instructions:
- Prep the Ingredients: Rinse and dry the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread one cherry tomato, one folded basil leaf, and one vegan mozzarella-style ball onto each skewer.
- Arrange: Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter.
- Drizzle: Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
- Season: Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Serve immediately, or chill for up to 1 hour before serving.
Notes: Read through the full recipe before starting so you have all ingredients prepped and ready to go.
Tips: Don't move the skewers too often on the grill — let each side develop char marks before turning.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Swaps: No grill? A grill pan or broiler works well as a substitute; just watch cook times closely.
Every ingredient here earns its place, but a few really shape the dish. The cherry tomatoes adds bright acidity and juicy body. The fresh basil leaves adds a fresh, peppery herbal note. The olive oil brings fruity depth and helps carry the other flavors. The salt sharpens and balances every other flavor in the dish.
