Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice each tomato in half lengthwise and arrange the halves cut-side-up on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomatoes, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder evenly over the tomatoes.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the tomatoes for 3 hours, or until they are shriveled and slightly chewy but not crisp.
Check the tomatoes occasionally during the last hour of cooking to ensure they do not over-dry or burn.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the tomatoes to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
Store in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy as a snack, salad topping, or addition to your favorite dishes!
