Dehydrating Tomatoes

Step 1

Cut Roma, cherry or plum tomatoes in half.

Step 2

For larger slicing tomatoes, cut into slices about 3/4 inch thick. Do your best to make the slices consistent in size.

Step 3

Lay your tomatoes on the dehydrator trays. Don't let them touch and try not to overcrowd.

Step 4

Set the dehydrator to 135 degrees F.

Step 5

Allow them to dehydrated for 4 hours and then check on progress. If your trays are moveable, rotate them so that the trays on the bottom are now on top.

Step 6

Dry another 4-6 hours, or until the tomatoes are dry and chewy without any moisture when you touch them.

Step 7

Store in a jar or zipper bag at room temperature for 3-4 months (dry climates) or in the fridge/freezer for up to 6 months (humid climates).
