Why you’ll love these easy air fryer cherry tomatoes

  • These small ripe cherry tomatoes are little flavor bombs, bursting with Italian flavor.
  • Roasting tomatoes has never been so easy, and you’ll make this simple air fryer recipe in 6 minutes.
  • They are the perfect side dish for a summer BBQ, Memorial Day BBQ, or as a tasty healthy snack.
  • Ticking all the boxes, these roasted tomatoes are low carb, keto friendly, vegetarian, and vegan, so everyone can enjoy them!

These sweet air fried cherry tomatoes are totally addictive, so much so, that only half ever make it to the plate.

Ingredients you’ll need

You’ll need all the ingredients shown in the photograph below.

Ingredients needed salt, pepper, cherry tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and olive oil.

What do I serve with them?

Air fryer roasted cherry tomatoes are so versatile and they taste just as good as oven roasted tomatoes.

Add them to pasta dishes, they are amazing when added to pesto pasta, cacio e pepe, or spaghetti marinara.

They are perfect as a snack on toast and with a little goats cheese.

We’ve even been known to add them to our sriracha aioli, sour cream and chives dressing, and garlic dip.

Do I have to peel roasted tomatoes?

No, you don’t.

In fact, we’d recommend that you don’t.

The skins are delicious but, maybe most importantly, they allow you to pick them out of the air fryer basket and place them on a plate.

The insides of roasted cherry tomatoes become very soft and they would fall apart without their skins.

How does an air fryer work?

We love the simplicity of air frying.

An air fryer circulates heat from above and pushes it all around the food, imitating deep frying without the need for copious amounts of oil.

Which air fryer is best to use?

Like cars, televisions, and houses, different people will prefer different brands or models.

We don’t profess to have tried all of the brands and all of the models.

We just wouldn’t have time!

This is the air fryer we use, it’s super easy to use and all the different recipes we’ve cooked on it have turned out great.

Instant Pot Vortex 4-in-1 Air Fryer 5.7L 

Our favorite air fryer is the Instant pot Vortex and we like this for its intuitive display, the filter stops lasting food smells, and you can see your food cooking through the glass panel and light function.

Take a look at our air fryer large tomatoes, air fryer buffalo cauliflower, and even air fryer toast!

Can I air fry any other types of tomatoes?

Yes, you can!

Take a look at our large air fryer tomatoes.

And you can air fry grape tomatoes or Roma tomatoes.

We chose small cherry tomatoes, but the most important thing to do is to make sure they are ripe and fresh tomatoes.

Play with the flavors

We’ve used our Italian seasoning blend

But you could use fresh herbs and a little fresh basil to add flavor.

Try sprinkling Indian curry spice mix or Cajun seasoning.

Add garlic powder to add more flavor.

How do I store air fryer tomatoes?

You can store your air fryer roasted tomatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.

They also freeze for up to 3 months, although we have to be honest and say that we prefer freshly cooked tomatoes.

Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Don’t overcrowd
    Make sure that you give the tomatoes enough space, they should be in single layers.
  • Storage
    Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days and freeze for up to 3 months.

    Great tip to not overcrowd the tomatoes – it’s so tempting to try and load up the air fryer with as many as you can, but it definitely impacts the roasting!

    These were so delicious, sort of like a semi dried tomato but with more juice. So yummy. I stirred the through a simple Spaghetti aglio e olio (mild on the chilli as the kids were eating with us) and they were the perfect burst of sweetness. The kids loved it.
