4 large tomatoes Roma, on the softer side and ripe

Preheat to 390F for 5 minutes. Thoroughly rinse the tomatoes and pat them dry. Arrange them in your air fryer basket so they aren't overlapping. Then set time to 10 minutes total.
At the 5 minute mark open the air fryer and carefully flip them. Once timer goes off, very carefully remove the tomatoes and set on a plate to cool.

Notes

Air Fryer Salsa

If you want to make this into salsa you would want to also add the following items into the basket at the same time as the tomatoes.

1-2 cloves garlic
1 jalapeno
1/4 onion sliced

Roast, leave the jalapeño and onion in the basket and set for another 3 minutes. This is to help them both soften more. When cooked allow to cool slightly. Remove seeds in jalapeno and stem. 1 handful cilantro and salt and pepper can be added into the food processor too to taste. Pulse until as smooth as you'd like.
