Ingredients You Need to Make Tomatoes in Air Fryer

How to Make Air Fryer Tomatoes
STEP 1: Wash and pat dry each tomato with paper towels. Then slice in half with a sharp knife, lengthwise.
STEP 2: In a medium bowl, or laying flat on a baking sheet, toss tomatoes with olive oil, then season with garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
STEP 3: Brush the bottom of the Air Fryer basket with olive oil, or line with a piece of parchment paper. Place tomato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
STEP 4: Air fry at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. If you want crispier tomatoes, add a few additional minutes of cook time.

Tips to Make the Best Roasted Tomatoes
- Choose the Best Tomatoes: I use Roma tomatoes because their size works best. If using a larger tomato such as Heirloom tomatoes, you may want to slice tomato pieces into quarters. If using a pint cherry tomatoes, you can toss them with olive oil and seasonings without cutting them in half. Any kinds of tomato work.
- Adjust Times Based on Air Fryer: I use a Cosori air fryer. Depending on the size and wattage of your air fryer, cooking times may need to be adjusted by 1-2 minutes.
- Small Tomatoes: Cherry or grape tomatoes are great for air frying because they cook quickly and maintain their shape. Just be sure to lower air frying time by a few minutes.
- Firmness Matters: Choose firm tomatoes to prevent them from becoming too mushy during cooking.
