Oven "Sun-Dried" Tomatoes

Step 1

Heat oven to 250°F.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise.  Place them cut-side-up on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake for 2.5 to 3.5 hours, or until the tomatoes are dried out, keeping an eye on the tomatoes so that they don’t burn.

Step 4

Remove from the oven.  Serve immediately.  Or to store, transfer the sun-dried tomatoes to a jar and fill with olive oil until the tomatoes are completely covered.  Add in any desired seasonings (such as a clove of garlic and/or herbs), then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
