How to Make Oven Dried Grape Or Cherry Tomatoes Aka Sun Dried

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. Spread a single layer of 2 lbs (approximately 1 kg) of grape or cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 1 tablespoon of your favorite fresh herbs (such as oregano, thyme, or basil), if desired.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours.
  5. Monitor closely during the last 30 minutes. Avoid frequently opening the oven door to maintain consistent heat.
  6. Tomatoes will vary in drying time depending on size. Remove from oven when significantly shriveled and leathery.
  7. Allow tomatoes to cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Store in a loosely sealed zip-top bag in the refrigerator for 2-3 days to allow any remaining moisture to evaporate.
  9. After 2-3 days, transfer the tomatoes to an airtight container and store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
