Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h2m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 lb cherry tomatoes or 1 lb grape tomatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Add one layer of grape or cherry tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and fresh herbs if desired.
  • Roast in a 200° F oven for about 2 hours.
  • Watch carefully through the oven window. Try NOT to open the door as you will let out the heat and increase the cooking time.
  • Tomatoes vary in size so the time is approximate. When they are shriveled and getting dry, remove them and allow them to cool. A little more moisture will evaporate.
  • Return to the oven if you feel they need to cook more. Note the amount of time so that you have it for future reference.
  • Store in a loosely sealed zip top bag in the refrigerator for a few days. Then seal tightly and store in a cool dark place for up to 6 months.

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
6 fresh thyme sprigs
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275°F.
  • Combine the cherry tomatoes, thyme, garlic, salt, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl and toss to thoroughly coat the tomatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm cherry tomatoes for the best results.
  • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half lengthwise for faster drying time.
  • Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a baking sheet with a parchment paper lining to prevent the cherry tomatoes from sticking.

  • Store the oven-dried cherry tomatoes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
