Zesty Oven-Cured Tomatoes

 

2 tsp. olive oil

1 1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning (or fresh thyme leaves, basil, or oregano)

1 tsp. sugar, white

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. salt

8 ea. tomatoes (fresh large, or 12 small-plum tomatoes)

 

Slice tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay slices onto a baking sheet

lined with parchment.

Mix the olive oil and seasonings together in a small dish. Spread the

seasoning mixture onto the top of each tomato slice with your finger or a

pastry brush. You may also brush oil onto the tomatoes and then sprinkle the

seasonings on top of the tomatoes.

 

Bake the tomatoes in the oven at 250 degrees for 2 hours. If you have a gas

oven with a pilot light, turn off the heat after 2 hours and leave it

overnight. If you have an electric oven, bake for 2 hours, then turn to

" warm " setting and leave overnight. When done, the tomatoes should be

somewhat wrinkled and shrunken but still juicy.

 

Serve in sandwiches or pocket bread.
