Oven-Dried Grape Tomatoes With Italian Seasoning

Oven-Dried Grape Tomatoes With Italian Seasoning

This is an awesome weekend project because you get to sit at home and read magazines while your very low oven does all the magic. 3 hours later, flavor-packed ruby gems emerge, and you can eat them whole like candy.

Ingredients

1 lb grape tomatoes, sliced in half

3 tbs extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp granulated garlic

1 tsp dried basil

2 tsp salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Combine tomatoes, olive oil and seasonings in a large bowl and toss to combine. Spread in one layer on a rack fitted on a baking sheet. (If you do not have a rack, then spread on parchment paper on a baking sheet and turn over half way through baking.)

Bake tomatoes for 2½ to 3 hours until dried out with just a little bit of moisture left. Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
