  • Cook the tomatoes at 120C (250F) for 40 minutes in a drawer style air fryer.

Oven Style Air Fryer

  • Lay the tomatoes on the shelves cut side up. Cook the tomatoes at 120C (250F) for 60 minutes in the oven style air fryer
  • If you have an oven style air fryer you can make a larger quantity of sun dried tomatoes. It is worth swapping the trays around during the drying process so at the tomatoes dry evenly. Leave to cool

To freeze

  • Open freeze the tomatoes on the trays they cooked on and then put into a freezerproof container, put on the lid and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Add directly from frozen to soups, sauces and other recipes.

To store in oil

  • Fill the sterilised jar with the tomatoes. Fill up with the 100 ml (½ cup) olive oil or until the tomatoes are completely covered in oil. If there are a lot of bubbles use a skewer to let them rise to the top of the jar and pop!
  • Store the tomatoes in oil in the fridge for up to two weeks. Take out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before using.

Notes

There are many different brands of air fryers so the temperature and timings may be slightly different in your air fryer, so do check and adjust. I recommend you check your tomatoes after 30 minutes as it's always better to add on some extra time as you can't take it away!
