Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the Roma tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the seeds using a spoon for a more concentrated flavor.
Place the halved tomatoes cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Space them evenly to allow proper air circulation.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, red chili flakes, garlic powder, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well.
Drizzle the spiced olive oil mixture evenly over the tomatoes, using a pastry brush or your fingers to coat each one thoroughly.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the tomatoes are shrunken, dry, but still slightly pliable.
Check the tomatoes periodically during the drying process to ensure they do not overcook or burn, as oven times may vary.
Once dried, remove the tomatoes from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Store the spicy oven-dried tomatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze them for longer storage.
