INGREDIENTS
15-20 tomatoes, all
about the same size
Olive oil (optional)
Salt (optional)
Pepper (optional)
Sugar (optional)
Herbs (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Cut tomatoes into
quarters lengthwise.
Place each quarter
skin-side down on a
parchment-covered
baking sheet.
Add oil or seasonings,
if desired.
Baking options:
400 degrees
for 45 minutes
creates a smoky final
product good for
sauces and recipes.
350 degrees
for 1-2 hours results
in a nicely dried
tomato, perfect for
use in recipes and for
refrigerator storage.
200 degrees
for 6-10 hours
completely dries out
the tomatoes for
long-term storage.
I stuff dried tomatoes
into jars and fill the
jars with olive oil.
I store the filled jars
in the refrigerator.
