Oven-Dried Tomatoes

Whether you eat them as is, or pack them in an herbed oil, these tomatoes are flavorful and versatile. You can oven dry any tomato variety; each of the quantities given below generally fills one baking pan.

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 24 cherry tomatoes
  • 8 to 10 plum tomatoes, cut in half
  • 8 to 10 yellow, orange, red, or green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick or thicker slices
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Herbs, such as basil, oregano, or rosemary, to taste
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a pan with parchment; for thinnest chips, use a Silpat baking mat. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, on pan, spaced 1/2 to 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with sugar and herbs; season with salt and pepper.
  2. Transfer pan to oven; dry until juices have stopped running, edges are shriveled, and pieces have shrunken slightly; timing will vary depending on the variety, ripeness, and desired degree of dryness, 1 1/2 to 6 hours. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container, refrigerated, up to 3 days, or frozen, for up to 6 weeks.
