Pomodorini confit in friggitrice ad aria

Experience the taste of the Mediterranean with these simple yet irresistible confit cherry tomatoes made in an air fryer. This easy Italian recipe brings together the sweetness of ripe tomatoes, the aromatic essence of oregano, and the unique flavor of extra virgin olive oil. Traditionally slow-cooked in an oven, this modern version using an air fryer offers a quicker, energy-efficient method without sacrificing taste.

The air fryer gently dries the tomatoes, concentrating their natural juices to create soft, slightly caramelized, and fragrantly delicious morsels. The circulating heat ensures tender insides and a slightly golden exterior, all without the need for added sugar. In less than 30 minutes, you’ll have a delightful side dish that’s both quick and energy-saving!
