Recipe of Dehydrate Tomatoes

In our latest box of reclaimed produce {I’ll post the pictures tomorrow} there were a ton of free tomatoes that needed to be dealt with right away.  The quickest thing I could think to with them was to make a batch of dehydrated tomatoes.


If you have never dehydrated tomatoes before it’s super easy.

• Wash, dry and quarter tomatoes
• Season with olive oil and Italian seasonings
• Lay on dehydrator trays and turn on the dehydrator
• Tomatoes should be ready in 6- 10 hours depending on thickness

After the tomatoes have finished drying, store them in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator and use within 1 month.  In years past I have also placed dehydrated tomatoes in glass canning jars and placed them in the freezer for up to a year.

Note- We like our dehydrated tomatoes a little on the chewy side.  This means all the juice is not removed and therefore the dried tomatoes cannot be stored as long.  If you want to keep them longer than a year, simply dehydrate them until all the moisture is gone and they’ll last you a lot longer.
