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

Notes
Store in a cool, dark place to extend shelf life; vacuum-sealed bags maintain quality for longer periods. Soak in water for rehydration before using in dishes.
