How to Make Tomato Powder Dehydrator

Wash and thoroughly dry 2 lbs of ripe tomatoes. Remove stems.
Using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, slice tomatoes as thinly as possible (about 1/8 inch thick).
Arrange tomato slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays, ensuring they don't overlap.
Dehydrate at 135°F (57°C) for 6-8 hours, or until completely dry and brittle. Check frequently after the first 4 hours and rotate trays for even drying.
Once completely dry, allow the tomatoes to cool completely.
Using a food processor or high-powered blender, pulse the dried tomatoes until they are reduced to a fine powder.
Store the tomato powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It should keep for several months.
