Fire Roasted Tomatoes
Learn how to make the perfectly smoky and juicy fire roasted tomatoes in the Air Fryer in just a few minutes.
Ingredients
- 5-6 tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry the tomatoes.
- Transfer the to your Air Fryer basket, leaving some extra room for the hot air to circulate.
- Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and air fry for 15-17 minutes.
- Once the tomatoes look like they have softened and have a char on the outside, get them out and allow them to cool.
Notes
- Allow the tomatoes to cool down a bit first, and then peel them. Don't rush, or you'll end up getting burned because of the steam.
- If you can't find Roma tomatoes and just have watery tomatoes, chop them into half and remove their juicy center. Then, use the thick, fleshy portion for the recipe.
- You can also replicate this recipe with cherry tomatoes if you want to, or try my cherry tomato garlic confit if you have a few extra minutes.
- I used a sharp knife to chop up the tomatoes into chunky bits. Depending on what you're planning on using these tomatoes for, you can even blend them in a food processor.
- I roasted whole tomatoes here, which is why it took them a longer time to get that char. You can choose to chop them up into medium chunks and keep their cut side facing upwards to make things quicker.
- Make sure you don't stuff too many tomatoes in the Air Fryer basket- leave a little room for the tomatoes to get that char.
