How to Make Air Fryer Tomatoes with Cheese
To make this recipe cut the Roma tomatoes into 4 or 5 slices per tomato. Take the grill pan and line the sliced tomatoes on it. My Air Fryer can take about 8 to 9 slices.
Sprinkle all the slices with onion powder and garlic powder. Then add parmesan to each slice of tomato before adding a generous amount of shredded cheese.
Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or fresh-cut basil. Finally, add ¼ teaspoon of olive oil per slice.
Preheat the Air Fryer to 400℉ for 3 minutes. Put the grill pan in the Air Fryer and roast them for 8-10 minutes. If your Air Fryer can’t contain all slices repeat.
