Oven Dried Herbed Tomatoes Recipes

OVEN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 200 F. Rinse the tomatoes with cool water and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or layers of paper towels.
• Hull or remove the core of each tomato. Use a teaspoon or the tip of a dinner knife to remove the seeds and any juice from the tomatoes.
• Cut small tomatoes into quarters and larger tomatoes into bite-size pieces.
• Put the tomato pieces in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and seasonings of choice, if using, tossing gently to evenly distribute.
• Position the cut tomatoes on a wire rack set on a large rimmed baking sheet, leaving about 1-inch of space between pieces.
• Transfer to the oven. After the first hour, check the tomatoes every half hour, removing them when the edges curl up, and they reduce in size by about a third, about 2 to 3 hours depending on the ambient humidity and the juiciness of the tomatoes.
• Leave them to cool at this plump-dry stage, or put them back into the oven for up to an additional 3 or 4 hours if you prefer a chewier texture.
