Ingredients

3 Roma tomatoes (about 100 g each)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon dried whole oregano

Kosher salt, to taste

Ground black pepper, to taste

Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing or spraying

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
  2. Slice Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and brush or spray lightly with olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the cut sides.
  4. Arrange the tomatoes cut-side up in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
  5. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, checking at the 10-minute mark, until the tops are caramelized and the centers tender.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving or using in recipes.

Notes

Add grated Parmesan cheese in the last minute of cooking for a savory finish.

Drizzle balsamic glaze before serving for a tangy-sweet touch.

Use thyme, rosemary, or chili flakes for variations in flavor and heat.

Cherry or grape tomatoes can be substituted with a shorter cook time.

Enjoy warm, or chilled in salads, pasta, or sandwiches.
