Ingredients
- Cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half
For storing (optional):
- Fresh garlic cloves, peeled
- Italian seasoning
- Red pepper flakes
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 F or 250 F if you want this to go faster.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Halve the tomatoes lengthwise, then set on the paper, cut side up.
- Bake for 2 – 5 hours, checking periodically after 2 hours until they are withered but still chewy.
- Choose how you wish to preserve your oven-dried tomatoes. If you wish to use the olive oil method, pack some of the tomatoes into a jar. Add a couple garlic cloves, then sprinkle with Italian Seasoning and red pepper flakes. Repeat until the jar is mostly full, leaving a bit of room on top. Pour olive oil over until the tomatoes are completely submerged. Put on the lid and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
To extend the shelf life, you can store your oven dried tomatoes in the freezer! Set them on a tray in the freezer until frozen, then put in a bag and use a straw to suck out the air. Keep frozen until ready to use.
