Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Dehydrated Cherry Tomatoes
  1. Step 1: Prepare Cherry Tomatoes. Remove stems, wash, and inspect for overripeness. Allow under-ripe tomatoes to ripen before drying.
  2. Step 2: Slice and Arrange. Halve the tomatoes and place them skin side down on the dehydrator tray.
  3. Step 3: Dehydrate. Set dehydrator to 135°F and dehydrate for 12 to 14 hours, checking for leathery yet flexible texture.
  4. Step 4: Cool and Store. Transfer to a cooling rack for 30 to 45 minutes, then store in an airtight container.
  5. Step 5: Conditioning. Shake the container daily for a week to ensure even moisture distribution, re-dehydrate if necessary.
