Zubereitung

1. 1

   Wash the vine tomatoes, halve them crossways and cut out the hard stalk end with the tip of a knife.

2. 2

   Peel the garlic and cut it into thin slices. The slices go between the tomato halves later, so that they do not burn in the hot airflow.

3. 3

   Carefully mix the tomato halves with the olive oil, the dried thyme, the salt and the pepper until the cut surfaces glisten thinly.

4. 4

   Preheat the airfryer to 160 °C.

5. 5

   Set the halves cut side up in the basket in a single layer with space between them and do not stack anything; cook larger amounts in two batches. Spread the slices of garlic between them and cook at 160 °C.

6. 6

   Pull out the basket and carry on cooking the tomatoes at 160 °C without turning them, until the edges have sunk in and turned dark. They are not turned, because the halves would lose their juice.

7. 7

   Drizzle the tomatoes with the balsamic vinegar and serve them lukewarm.
