Season tomatoes:If using loose tomatoes:In a medium bowl, stir together 1 clove minced garlic and 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil. Add 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes and toss to coat. Toss with with ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt. If using tomatoes on the vine: In a small bowl, stir together 1 clove minced garlic and 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil.

Air fry: Transfer tomatoes to a single layer in an air fryer basket. Without pre-heating, air fry at 400℉ (205℃) until the tomato skins are wrinkling and some are blistering at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with more salt, to taste. Serve.
Notes
Garlic: We recommend 1 small or medium clove of garlic; adjust to suit your taste. If doubling the recipe, you can use 1 large clove of garlic or 2 small. You can use a garlic press, microplane, or knife to mince the garlic.
Tomatoes: You can use either cherry or grape tomatoes. The tomatoes can be loose or on the vine. Recipe instructions provided for both. If using on-the-vine tomatoes, make sure to handle them gently to avoid them falling off the stem.
Garnish ideas (optional): Freshly cracked black pepper, Fresh herbs (such as basil, thyme, rosemary), Parmesan cheese (or similar).
