Ingredients

• 500 grams cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Slice each tomato in half lengthwise and arrange the halves cut-side-up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomatoes, ensuring they are lightly coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder evenly over the tomatoes.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the tomatoes for 3 hours, or until they are shriveled and slightly chewy but not crisp.

Step 7

Check the tomatoes occasionally during the last hour of cooking to ensure they do not over-dry or burn.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the tomatoes to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.

Step 9

Store in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy as a snack, salad topping, or addition to your favorite dishes!
