Food Recipes Oven-Dried Tomatoes 4.6 (5) 3 Reviews Sundried tomatoes can be polarizing. If you’re turned off by their strong and often overly acidic flavor, we get it. It’s not fun when an entire dish is overwhelmed by a single note of tomato flavor, not to mention when that tomato flavor comes in the form of tough and chewy barely rehydrated pieces. That’s why we came up with this DIY version made right in the oven, no Tuscan hillside necessary. They’re super easy to make and the result is pure, deeply concentrated tomato flavor, and not a tomato raisin in sight. If you’re swimming in summer tomatoes, this is a great way to extend their shelf life. By Heath Goldman Heath Goldman Heath Goldman is a trained chef, recipe developer, and writer.
