12 ripe cherry tomatoes
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon for mixing
03 -
1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
04 -
Pinch of salt

# Instructions:

If you have an Air Fryer grill pan, use it for this recipe to keep your Air Fryer clean. Otherwise, a cake pan or pizza pan works well too.
03 -
Preheat your Air Fryer to 240°F (115°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange the seasoned tomatoes in a single layer on your chosen pan.
04 -
Cook for approximately 45 minutes, checking the tomatoes every 10 minutes until they reach your desired level of dehydration.
05 -
Remember that larger tomatoes contain more juice and will take longer to dehydrate. Extend cooking time if you prefer drier tomatoes.
06 -
While tomatoes are cooking, take a glass bowl and mix the remaining tablespoon of olive oil with an additional teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
07 -
Use silicone tongs to carefully remove the tomatoes from the Air Fryer and transfer them to a glass jar for storage.
# Notes:

These air-fried tomatoes make a delicious topping for bruschetta, pasta, or salads.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
