Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Cut the Tomatoes
Begin by washing the Roma tomatoes thoroughly under cold water. Once clean, slice each tomato in half lengthwise.
- 2
Remove Seeds
Using your fingers or a small spoon, gently remove the seeds from each tomato half to reduce moisture.
- 3
Sprinkle with Salt
Sprinkle the cut sides of the tomatoes with kosher salt. This helps to draw out moisture and enhances flavor. Let them sit for about 30 minutes.
Drying the Tomatoes
- 4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). This low temperature will help to dehydrate the tomatoes slowly.
- 5
Arrange Tomatoes on Baking Sheet
After 30 minutes, rinse the tomatoes to remove excess salt and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 6
Drizzle with Olive Oil
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the tomatoes. If desired, sprinkle dried Italian herbs on top for added flavor.
- 7
Dry the Tomatoes
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Allow the tomatoes to dry for approximately 6 to 8 hours, checking every hour. They should be shriveled and leathery but not crispy.
Storage
- 8
Cool and Store
Once dried, remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container, submerged in olive oil for preservation.
