How to Dehydrate Tomatoes
Notable Equipment
- 1 Dehydrator
Ingredients
- tomatoes, any variety
Instructions
- 1. Slice tomatoes into congruent slices; ideally about 1/4″ thick rounds
- 2. Arrange on a mesh lined dehydrating tray with enough room for air to circulate between the pieces (no over lapping)
- 3. Place in dehydrator and dehydrate at 135°F for about 10 hours
Notes
- Are you wanting dehydrated diced tomatoes instead of rounds? I still recommend dehydrating them in rounds and cutting them into pieces once dried. This prevents losing a lot of the inner flesh and promotes more even drying throughout
- If dehydrating halved baby/cherry tomatoes, expect to add up to 6 extra hours of dehydrating time
- A mesh liner is recommended for tomatoes
- Dehydrating times may vary (the water content in the tomatoes, as well as the humidity and altitude of where you live in impact the time)
