Raw tomatoes are tasty, but roasted tomatoes are even better.

And my favorite way to roast up tomatoes these days? The air fryer. It's just so quick and easy to make roasted tomatoes in the air fryer.

I've done it with cherry tomatoes, but it works great with these roma tomatoes as well. And after they are cooked, they can be used in so many different ways!

You can eat them just on their own or use them to make tomato soup or tomato sauce.

Ingredients

  • Roma tomatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Dried oregano
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

What are roma tomatoes?

Roma tomatoes are a type of plum tomato that is commonly used to make tomato sauces and tomato paste.

Even so, I love roasting them up and sometimes I will use them raw in salads too. They are typically pretty inexpensive, but still delicious.

Recipe tips

  • All air fryers cook differently. Watch carefully to make sure tomatoes are roasted to your preference.
  • Be gentle when removing the tomatoes from the air fryer so they don't fall apart.

How to customize

You can customize these roasted roma tomatoes in so many ways!

First, you can just switch out seasonings and spices to give the tomatoes a different flavor.

You can also add something like harissa or pesto to the tomatoes before cooking. And you can even top with cheese!

What to serve with the roma tomatoes

These air fried roma tomatoes can be used to make tomato soup or homemade tomato sauce.

But you can also eat them on their own! I love the tomatoes with pasta or some crusty bread. They would be delicious along side this air fryer garlic bread.

The roasted tomatoes are also delicious with air fried pesto salmon or these air fried harissa chicken thighs.

How to store leftovers

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Should roma tomatoes be peeled?

They can be. I typically don't peel them if I'm enjoying them on toast, a grain bowl, or on their own.

However, if you are using them to make a sauce or soup, then you will likely want to peel them. This is easy to do after cooking the roma tomatoes in the air fryer.
