Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Roma tomatoes cut in half lenghwise
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt cracked
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

Air Fryer Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 250ºF/121ºC.
  • Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Scrape out the tomato flesh with a portion scoop. Toss tomatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, thyme, pepper, and salt.
  • Place tomatoes cut side up in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook for 1 hour or until the tomato edges start to curl up.

Oven Roasted Tomato Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250ºF/121ºC.
  • Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Scrape out the tomato flesh with a portion scoop. Toss tomatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, thyme, pepper, and salt.
  • Place tomatoes cut side up on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake for 2-3 hours in the oven until the tomato edges curl up.

Notes

  • The size of your tomato determines how long to slow roast.  A large beefsteak tomato will cook a lot longer than small cherry or grape tomatoes.
  • Removing the tomato seeds will yield less watery tomatoes.  We like to use a cookie scoop to remove the seeds. 
  • Slow roasted tomatoes are great for pizza, pasta, and Mediterranean bowls.
