Air fryer roasted tomatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish or addition to various recipes. Here’s a simple recipe to make air fryer roasted tomatoes:
Ingredients:
- 4-6 medium-sized tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Herbs of your choice (optional, such as basil, thyme, or rosemary)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Rinse the tomatoes and pat them dry. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on the size of the tomatoes.
- Place the tomato pieces in a bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss the tomatoes gently to coat them evenly with the oil.
- Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and any herbs you desire. Toss them again to distribute the seasoning.
- Arrange the tomato pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
- Place the basket in the preheated air fryer and cook the tomatoes for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the tomatoes halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size and juiciness of the tomatoes.
- Keep an eye on the tomatoes as they cook. They should become slightly shriveled and softened but still hold their shape.
- Once the tomatoes are roasted to your desired level, remove them from the air fryer. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Air fryer roasted tomatoes can be enjoyed on their own as a side dish, added to salads, pasta dishes, sandwiches, or used as a topping for pizzas. They offer a burst of flavor and a slightly caramelized taste that enhances many dishes.
