How To Make Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Tomato & Mozzarella Tart
- Roast the Tomatoes: Halve the tomatoes and remove the seeds. Place them in the air fryer drawer with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cook cut-side down for 15 minutes at 200ºC until soft and golden.
- Prepare the Pastry: Stretch the puff pastry to fit the air fryer drawer. Lay it over the roasted tomatoes, tucking the edges. Cook for 15 minutes at 200ºC until golden and puffed.
- Make the Topping: Squash and destone the olives, slice the chilli, and mix with red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Tart: Flip the tart onto a board. Tear over mozzarella and basil leaves, then spoon over the olive mixture.
- Serve: Pair with a simple rocket salad on the side, if desired.

Recipe Tips
- Use ripe tomatoes: This ensures a juicy, sweet base after roasting.
- Stretch pastry carefully: Ensure it covers the tomato base fully and tucks in for proper puff.
- Flip with confidence: Use a board and steady motion to invert the tart without breaking it.
- Balance flavors: The vinegar and chilli add needed zing—don’t skip them.
- Add greens: A light salad balances the tart’s richness.
