For longer storage, pack the air-fried tomatoes in olive oil in a sterilized jar and refrigerate. They will keep for several weeks. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices! A pinch of dried oregano, basil, or red pepper flakes can add a delightful twist. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer, so keep a close eye on the tomatoes and adjust accordingly.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a small bowl, gently toss the halved tomatoes with olive oil and a pinch of sea salt until evenly coated. Transfer the tomato halves to the air fryer basket, arranging them skin-side down in a single layer. (5 minutes)
03
StepAir fry for 45 minutes. Then, using a spatula or the back of a spoon, gently smash the tomato halves to release more moisture and concentrate their flavors. Air fry for an additional 30 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of dryness. (75 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the air-fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to cool and further dry for at least 1 hour. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect chewy texture. (60 minutes)
