Easy Oven Semi-dried Cherry Tomatoes
Sweet and soft semi-dried tomatoes. It is easy to make in the oven with three ingredients. See the blog post above for the instruction with photos.
Ingredients
- cherry tomatoes as needed
- salt for lightly sprinkling over tomatoes
- olive oil for covering
Instructions
- Cut the rinsed tomatoes in half. It's better to cut the tomatoes from the side rather than from the stem. Because that way the water evaporates from the tomatoes more easily.
- Place the tomatoes cut side up on an oven tray lined with parchment paper (do not to use a cooking mat, as they will stick to the dried tomatoes).
- Sprinkle lightly with salt all over and bake the tomatoes at 140ºC(275ºF) for 90 minutes. Pre-heating is unnecessary.
- Once it's baked, let cool in the oven for about 1 hour. Then put the completely cooled tomatoes in a clean airtight container and pour enough olive oil to cover the tomatoes. If the tomatoes are exposed to air, it might get moldy, so be sure to add plenty oil. You can also add dried herbs and garlic as you like.
- Keep in the refrigerator and eat within a week.
