Steps
Wash and dry the tomatoes. On a cutting board and using a knife, cut them in half lengthwise
As you cut the tomatoes, transfer them to the tray. Salt and drizzle them with a little oil
Place the tray in the air fryer and cook at 356°F for 20 minutes
Meanwhile, prepare the mixture for the gratin. First, rinse the capers in a small bowl with cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse them well to remove all salt residues. Take a bowl and combine all the ingredients: 2 tablespoons of Grana Padano, 3 level tablespoons of breadcrumbs, capers, minced anchovies, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper, and oregano to taste. Mix and blend well with the help of a spoon
After the first cooking of the tomatoes, remove the tray and cover the surface of the tomatoes with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press gently with the back of the spoon to adhere well
Return the tomatoes to the air fryer and cook at 392°F for 5 minutes
The surface should be golden
To enjoy them at their best, let them cool slightly before serving. They are also excellent cold at room temperature
