how to make Air-Fried Tomato Chips
Ingredients
- 2 large Roma tomatoes, cored and sliced 1/8-inch thick
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp white vinegar (optional)

- In a large bowl, toss the dried tomato slices gently with olive oil and optional vinegar. Add the seasonings: salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Toss again to coat evenly.

- Cook the tomato slices for 12 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through cooking to achieve even crispness on both sides.
- Once cooked, transfer the chips immediately to a wire cooling rack. Let them cool completely for 5 minutes to allow them to crisp up fully. Then, serve!
