Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Tomatoes

Equipment

  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Dehydrator
  • Dehydrator Mesh Sheets

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry your tomatoes thoroughly.
  2. Cut you tomatoes thinly. They’ll dehydrate faster that way. I cut mine about 1/4-1/2 inch thickness. I’m not always steady with the knife.
  3. Place the mesh on your trays and then add tomato slices. Don’t let them overlap. You want a single layer.
  4. Set your temperature 135-145F. I did 135F, but will probably do it higher next time because it took longer in my Cosori dehydrator.
  5. Dehydrate for 8-10 hours. If you cut them on the thicker side that time may double.
  6. Let them cool off and then peel them off the mesh. They may stick a bit, turns out tomatoes have quite a bit of sugar in them.
  7. Store in an airtight container or vacuum seal them until you’re ready to use them.

Notes

  • But the more even you cut them the more evenly they dry.
  • The tomatoes are done when they are crunchy and no longer soft or bendy.
  • Also, if you find your tomatoes are not done add 2-3 hours at a time if they’re still fairly wet and 1-2 hours at a time if they’re mostly done. That way you can avoid burnt tomatoes.
