How to Make Sun Dried Tomatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sun-dried tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  3. Arrange the sun-dried tomatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the tomatoes and bake for an additional 10 minutes. The goal is to warm and slightly soften the tomatoes, enhancing their flavor. Don't overbake!
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving or storing. If storing, place the sun-dried tomatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for up to a week.
  6. Optional: To intensify the flavor, you can soak the sun-dried tomatoes in warm water for 15 minutes before proceeding with the recipe. Ensure you remove excess water with paper towels before continuing.
