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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the Roma tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the seeds using a spoon for a more concentrated flavor.

Step 4

Place the halved tomatoes cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Space them evenly to allow proper air circulation.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, red chili flakes, garlic powder, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well.

Step 6

Drizzle the spiced olive oil mixture evenly over the tomatoes, using a pastry brush or your fingers to coat each one thoroughly.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Check the tomatoes periodically during the drying process to ensure they do not overcook or burn, as oven times may vary.

Step 9

Once dried, remove the tomatoes from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Store the spicy oven-dried tomatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze them for longer storage.
