Ingredients

  • 1 container Cherry Tomatoes any tomato variety works

Instructions

  • If your tomatoes have bruises, remover them.
  • Wash and then dry the tomatoes.
  • Take your tomatoes and slice thin. The thinner the better because they'll dehydrate faster.
  • Set your dehydrator to ~145F.
  • If your dehydrator has non-stick trays, use them. If not, line the trays with parchment paper.
  • Put the tomato slices on the trays and ensure none of them are overlapping.
  • Dehydrate overnight or for 16+ hours.
  • The next day, take them out and allow to cool for 10 minutes. If they still feel soft/pliable, they need to keep dehydrating. If they're brittle and snap, they're done.
  • Put into a pestle and mortar or spice grinder and grind into a fine powder.
  • Store in a storage bag or glass container and use as needed.
