How does an air fryer cook food?

An air fryer pushes hot air down onto the food and all around it.

By doing so, it mimics deep frying, giving you the same results but in a much healthier way (generally speaking).

What’s the best air fryer to use?

We’ve used several different air fryers over time, and currently, we prefer the Instant pot air fryers, this is the one we use and love.

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.

Which tomatoes are best for air frying?

Most ripe tomatoes will air-fry well.

For this recipe, we’ve used large tomatoes on the vine, but you could use Roma tomatoes, plum tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and buffalo tomatoes, they’d have a very tasty flavor.

Air fryer roasted cherry tomatoes are also good.

Just make sure you use fresh tomatoes, and you won’t go far wrong.

More ways to cook tomatoes

There are so many different recipes for tomatoes, when cooking tomatoes, you can use them with marinara pasta sauce, arrabbiata sauce, tomatoes and goat cheese bake, or a tasty spicy tomato soup.

Naturally, they are delicious uncooked, try our tomato, onion, and cucumber salad, pico de gallo, or Caprese skewers.

What do I serve them with?

Our air fried red tomatoes go with so many different dishes.

They are sensational when placed on top of your favorite veggie burger or on a potato fritter.

Delicious on air fryer toast or a slice of crusty bread, or as part of a veggie breakfast.

Try serving air-fried tomatoes with goat’s cheese, they are such a great pairing.

Add them to your list of BBQ food, perfect alongside sweet potato fries, onion rings, veggie chicken burger, and pesto corn on the cob.

Play with the flavors

We’ve created this recipe for speed and ease, so we used Italian seasoning but if you wanted to take the flavor up a notch or two, use fresh herbs,

Fresh basil, fresh thyme, a little garlic perhaps?

These all give a fresh flavor to the tomato halves.

Other dried seasonings could be garlic powder or sumac.

A little pesto or vegetarian Parmesan cheese on your roasted tomatoes always tastes delicious.

They would taste amazing as a base for your marinara sauce.

How long are air fried tomatoes good for?

If you have any leftover roasted tomatoes, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

You can also freeze them for up to 6 months.

Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Do you have to peel tomatoes before air frying them?
    Not at all, to roast tomatoes simply wash them and cook them in their skins.
  • Storage
    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and freeze for up to 6 months.
  • Watch closely
    Every air fryer cooks differently, different brands and capacities can mean that your cookies, will need either a longer or shorter cooking time, so make sure you keep a close eye on them.
