Air frying cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes is a simple and delicious way to enjoy these small fruits. Here’s a recipe to guide you:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: herbs or spices of your choice (such as garlic powder, dried basil, or dried oregano)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or spices. Toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly.
- Place the seasoned tomatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If needed, you can work in batches to ensure they’re not overcrowded.
- Cook the tomatoes in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The tomatoes should become slightly blistered and soft.
- Once the tomatoes are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
- Serve the air-fried cherry tomatoes as a side dish, on top of salads, as a topping for pasta or bruschetta, or use them in any other recipe where you’d like to add a burst of flavor.
Note: Cooking times may vary depending on the size and juiciness of the tomatoes, as well as the specific model of your air fryer. Keep an eye on them during the cooking process to prevent overcooking or burning.
Enjoy your air-fried cherry tomatoes!
