A recipe for How to Air Fry Grilled Tomatoes might sound like an oxymoron but I know you know what I mean! Halved large tomatoes which are classically grilled and then served with a full English breakfast or other traditional pub meals are so much easier to cook well and evenly in the air fryer. I promise you won't go back to using a grill!

Ingredients

2 large Salad Tomatoes - circa 80g/3oz each
8 sprays Vegetable Spray Oil
¼ tsp Sea Salt Flakes

Instructions

If your air fryer requires pre-heating, Start this setting now.
Prepare your dish for in the air fryer. I prefer to use aluminium foil to create a tray just slightly smaller than my basket. Whatever you use, it should be thin so heat is easily conducted and it should have low sides to contain the butter.
Slice 4 large Salad Tomatoes into half horizontally.
Once heated, add the tray and the tomatoes halves to the air fryer. Position the tomatoes cut side up.
Give each tomato half a couple of sprays of Vegetable Spray Oil and sprinkle over roughly ¼ tsp Sea Salt Flakes.
Cook for 10 minutes at 200c/390f.
The tomatoes do not need to be turned. Cook for longer if you prefer a softer/more browned tomato.
Serve!

Notes

This recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can comfortably cook 6 large tomatoes halved in the basket at one time.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
