Step 1
Wash and cut the tomatoes into halves, quarters, sixths, or even eighths depending on size, aiming to get similar-sized pieces so the tomatoes will dry evenly.
Step 2
Wash and finely chop the fresh herbs. Approximately 1 heaping tablespoon of chopped herbs for every 2 pounds of prepped tomatoes.
Step 3
Add cut tomatoes and fresh herbs into a mixing bowl, and lightly mix to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
Step 4
Place cut tomatoes skin side down on dehydrator drying racks (or on oven baking sheet). Do not allow the tomato pieces to overlap.
Step 5
Using a food dehydrator, dry the tomatoes on 120 to 130 degrees F for about 18-20 hours OR for 4-5 hours in 200 degree oven. Soft, chewy roasted tomatoes are delicious but may not last as long in storage as those more dry and crisp.
Step 6
Once dried to your liking, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for optimum freshness. They should last for several months to a year.
