Elevate the flavor of tomatoes with these quick and easy air fryer roasted tomatoes! They end up juicy and incredibly delicious on their own, and you can use them in so many different ways.
I first started roasting tomatoes to make tomato soup, but I never thought to enjoy them on their own until recently. While using the oven can take up to 30 minutes, I found that I can make quick roasted tomatoes in the air fryer at a fraction of the time (just 10 minutes!) with the same amazing results. This method is so much easier than the oven method, I’ve been making air fryer roasted tomatoes weekly now while they are in season. Plus, they are healthy and are paleo, vegan, Whole30-friendly, and low carb as well!

Air Fryer Roasted Tomatoes Simple Recipe
I like to use cherry tomatoes for this recipe because they are slightly sweet with so much flavor. Plus, they cook quickly because they are small and I find that whole roasted tomatoes taste much juicier. These are simple roasted tomatoes with garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and I also like to sprinkle some basil after they are done cooking to brighten up the flavor. The ingredients list is short and simple, but you can use different spices like rosemary, thyme, or even Italian seasoning to make different variations.
Garlic Roasted Tomatoes Ingredients
- cherry or grape tomatoes: You can use larger tomatoes like Roma tomatoes, but I recommend cutting them into smaller pieces before cooking OR increasing the cooking time.
- extra virgin olive oil: I’ve also used avocado oil with great success.
- garlic
- sea salt
- ground black pepper
- basil: I recommend fresh basil for the bright, summer-y flavor.
How to Make Roasted Tomatoes in the Air Fryer
- If your air fryer needs preheating, preheat to 400 degrees F. This is the air fryer I have and I use it for all my air fryer recipes.
- Add olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper to the tomatoes and toss to coat. Place in the air fryer tray or the air fryer basket. For extra juicy tomatoes, use a tray or basket without holes, or line the bottom of the air fryer basket with aluminum foil or a piece of parchment paper.
- Cook for 10 minutes until blistered and juicy.
- Remove from the air fryer and toss with chopped basil.
- Serve in soups, dips, salads, pasta, or on toast. It’s also a perfect side dish or an addition to pasta salads!
