- Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and oil or Olive Tap flavored olive oil, for flavor variety.

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.
