20-Minute Air Fryer Roasted Roma Tomatoes - Hello, Foodies! 🌟 Today, I'm thrilled to share a game-changer in your kitchen routine: 20-Minute Air Fryer Roasted Roma Tomatoes.

Ingredients 

  • 4 Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Optional: Dried or fresh herbs, basil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Wash the Roma tomatoes and pat them dry.
  • Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise. For larger tomatoes, you can consider quartering them.
  • In a bowl, toss the tomato halves with a light drizzle of olive oil. Ensure each piece is lightly coated.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. You can also add herbs like dried basil, oregano, or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This step may vary depending on your air fryer model.
  • Arrange the tomato halves in the air fryer basket in a single layer, cut side up. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
  • Roast the tomatoes in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes. The exact time can depend on the size of the tomatoes and the desired level of roasting.
  • Halfway through the cooking time, you can gently flip the tomatoes for even roasting, although this is optional.
  • The tomatoes are done when they are tender and the edges start to brown slightly.
  • If you prefer a more charred or dehydrated texture, you can extend the cooking time by a few minutes, monitoring closely to avoid burning.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

Pro Tips:
  • For a cheesy twist, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the tomatoes before air frying.
  • If you enjoy a spicy kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes can add some heat.
  • Serve as a side dish, or use them to enhance salads, pastas, or as a topping for bruschetta.
