Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven-Dried Sun-Dried Tomatoes.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a gentle 200°F (95°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, give your tomatoes a thorough wash and slice them in half.
Step 3
Take a moment to gently squeeze out the seeds, which will help keep the moisture at bay.
Step 4
Next, lay the tomato halves on a nonstick cookie sheet with the cut sides facing up, and sprinkle them with salt to suit your palate.
Step 5
Once your oven is ready, slide the cookie sheet inside and let the tomatoes bake slowly until they become wonderfully dry yet still retain a bit of flexibility.
Step 6
Start checking on them after four hours, and keep an eye on them every hour thereafter, as larger tomatoes may need a little extra time to reach that perfect state of deliciousness.
Step 7
Enjoy the transformation of these simple ingredients into a concentrated burst of flavor!.
