Prep time

2 Minutes

Cooking time

10-12 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Truss tomato, halved
  • pinch of dried herbs (of choice)
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
  • Sprig of fresh oregano leaves

Method

  • Preheat the Air Fryer to 180ºc for 3 minutes
  • Sprinkle the dried herbs, salt and pepper over each half of the tomato, cut side up
  • Top with grated parmesan cheese and fresh oregano leaves
  • Place onto a silicon-lined air fryer tray or baking paper and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the tomato is heated through and the cheese has melted.
  • Garnish with a few fresh oregano leaves
  • Serve and Enjoy!

Note: 

  • The flavour depends on the type and ripeness of tomatoes and the brand of parmesan cheese you use. Experiment with it, it is well worth it.
  • I used dried Italian herbs, try mixed herbs, thyme, oregano, Greek or whatever 
  • You can cook these in a normal preheated oven, just add 3-5 minutes to the cooking time 
  • You don’t need to purchase an expensive Air Fryer, many of the cheaper ones do just as good a job. Remember you are only cooking for one. I have a Phillips, with no extras and I love it, My daughter has a cheaper one from the supermarket and it works fine. Go with what you can afford.
