1. Storage:

- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for a few hours or until the tomato slices are frozen solid.
- Once frozen individually, transfer them to an airtight container or a freezer-safe bag, ensuring there’s a layer of parchment paper between the slices.
- Label the container or bag with the date for reference.
- Store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
3. Reheating:

- Air fry for 3-5 minutes or until they are heated through and become crispy.
- Keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking, as reheating times can vary depending on your air fryer and the temperature of the tomatoes.
