Instructions:

  1. Preheat
    Preheat oven to 95°C (200°F).
  2. Prep and Arrange
    Wash 900 g (2 lbs) ripe tomatoes. Slice Roma or plum tomatoes in half lengthwise; leave cherry tomatoes whole or halved. Place cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Season
    Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and optional 1 tsp dried herbs.
  4. Dry
    Bake for 4–6 hours, checking after 4 hours. Tomatoes are ready when shriveled, leathery, and concentrated — but not burnt.
  5. Cool and Store
    Cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container.
Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips

Notes:

  • Every oven varies — start checking at 4 hours and continue in 30-minute increments until leathery and concentrated but not burnt.
  • Remove smaller tomatoes earlier if they dry faster than larger ones.

Storage:

  • Fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Submerge in olive oil for longer storage. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Swaps:

  • Any ripe tomato variety works — Roma, plum, cherry, or grape.

Tips:

  • Store in a jar covered with olive oil, garlic, and herbs for incredible flavor and shelf life.
  • Use on pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads, or straight from the jar as a snack.
