Air Fryer Tomatoes (Easy 10-Minute Vegan Recipe)

If you are a roasted tomato lover like myself, you must try this air fryer roasted tomato recipe. The roasting intensifies the tomatoes flavor. The air fryer makes it quick and easy. The combination allows you to make a richer tomato sauce, sweeter soup, or perfect side.

I rave about vegan air fryer tomatoes all the time. After a couple of minutes of work, you will have roasted tomatoes that are sweeter than ever! I recommend using this recipe when you want a more intense tomato flavor.

My favorite is putting roasted tomatoes on toast with fresh basil and cream cheese. It’s the perfect breakfast, or in my case, an all-day snack!

Ingredients

• Balsamic Vinegar: Balsamic vinegar adds a tang to this recipe, helping balance out the sweetness of the tomato. If possible, I recommend using balsamic reduction or glaze. The reduction makes the vinegar sweeter!
• Garlic:  Try to use fresh minced garlic. If you do not have fresh garlic, you can substitute one teaspoon of garlic powder.
• Oil: Oil helps the tomatoes cook evenly. Try to use a high-heat oil such as refined olive or avocado oil.
• Tomatoes: The dish’s star, tomatoes, become more concentrated in flavor and slightly caramelized, enhancing their natural sweetness. I find cherry or grape tomatoes work best with this recipe.

Notes

Storing and reheating: Roasted tomatoes are best enjoyed fresh. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days. The longer they are stored,  they will lose their structure and become watery.

As pictured: Tomatoes in the picture are on top of toasted bread with whipped vegan cream cheese.  To whip cream cheese, use 8 ounces of cream cheese + 2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk then whip in a food processor for 3-5 quick pulses.
