You'll love this simple recipe because it only calls for a few simple ingredients, making it a perfect recipe for beginner cooks! In addition, this perfect side dish takes very little time to make, making it ideal for busy weeknights or when you want a quick snack! This recipe is a great addition to main dishes or by itself as an appetizer!

Ingredients

Tomatoes and seasonings on a white marble table before being cooked in the air fryer
  • Roma or Medium Tomatoes- or you favorite tomato
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic Clove, Minced
  • Freshly Chopped Rosemary
  • Freshly Chopped Thyme
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper - to taste

How to Make Air Fryer Tomatoes

  1. Wash and pat dry each tomato with paper towels. Then slice in half with a sharp knife, lengthwise.

  2. In a medium bowl, or laying flat on a baking sheet, toss tomatoes with olive oil. Season with garlic, rosemary, and thyme.

  3. Brush the bottom of the Air Fryer basket with olive oil, spritz with cooking spray, or line with a piece of parchment paper. Place tomato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. 

  4. Air fry at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. If you want crispier tomatoes, depending on size of tomatoes, add a few additional minutes of cook time.

How to Serve Air Fried Tomatoes

These tomatoes make a delicious appetizer alone, but here are a few other ways you can use them:

  • Top tomato halves with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
  • Chop and used as a garnish or topping for pizza, meats, salads, and soups.
  • Serve as a cracker topping or bread topping.
  • Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and oil or Olive Tap flavored olive oil, for flavor variety.
  • When chopped and added to a stew, chili, or pasta dish, these tomatoes are delicious.
  • Crush or mash these tomatoes to use as a base for your favorite red sauce.
  • Make a delicious air fried tomato an cheese sandwich

Tips for Best Results

  • 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. 
  • I use a Cosori 5.8 Quart air fryer. Depending on the size and wattage of your air fryer, cooking times may need to be adjusted by 1-2 minutes.
