5 from 1 vote

Cherry tomatoes roasted in the air fryer for the easiest, most delicious confit tomatoes you've ever tasted. Perfect on all sorts of salads, bruschetta and more.

The best thing to do with both under or over ripe tomatoes. Make a big batch and freeze to use in pasta sauces, casseroles and stews.

Notes

Ingredient Notes

1 - a dash of balsamic vinegar and spoon of sugar will help transform even the dullest most watery tomatoes, concentrating the flavours.

Storage

Fridge – Once your air fryer tomatoes are cool, put a lid on the jar and keep them in the fridge for up to a week.

Freezer – Freeze in an open jar (make sure it can’t tip) and then put the lid on once frozen. Keep upright and defrost in the fridge when you are ready to use.

Hints and tips

The recipe assumes cherry tomatoes, so if you want to use larger tomatoes, cut them down.

You can easily double the quantities, but use a bigger pan as you don't want the tomatoes to be more than 2” / 5cm deep at the start of cooking,

I find a serrated knife best for cutting tomatoes without squashing them.

An insulated glove is very helpful for getting the dish out of the fryer.
