Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 punnet (250g) cherry tomatoes, washed
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the tomatoes: Cut each of the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in an oven-safe dish.
- Season the tomatoes: Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes, then sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt. Toss them thoroughly to ensure even coating of all ingredients.
- Air fry the tomatoes: Position the dish at the bottom of the air fryer basket. Alternatively, line the basket base with baking paper and place the tomatoes on top. Cook at 160°C (320°F) for 10 minutes in the air fryer.
- Serve: Carefully remove the roasted cherry tomatoes from the air fryer basket and serve immediately, either as a side dish or as a flavorful topping.
Notes
- Make sure to toss the tomatoes well to ensure all are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings for consistent flavor.
- Using baking paper in the air fryer helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- The air fryer temperature of 160°C is ideal for roasting without burning the tomatoes, preserving their sweetness.
- Adjust cooking time slightly if your air fryer tends to cook hotter or if you prefer softer tomatoes.
- These roasted tomatoes pair wonderfully with pasta, salads, bruschetta, or as a side to grilled meats.
