Oven-Dried Tomatoes

by Dawn T in Rouxbe Videos

Roasted tomatoes with Herbs de Provençe, garlic, and olive oil. Simple and scrumptious!

Serves
48 tomato halves
Active Time
10 mins
Total Time
4 - 5 hrs

Step 1: Preparing and Roasting the Tomatoes

Preparing and Roasting the Tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp grey salt - can substitute with 1/2 tsp. table salt
  • 2 tsp herbes de provençe
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 18 medium roma or campari tomatoes (24 small tomatoes)

Preheat the oven to 250° degrees Fahrenheit.

In a small bowl, crush the garlic, add the olive oil, grey salt, Herbes de Provence and pepper, then whisk together.

Cut the tomatoes in half, and arrange on a parchment lined bakig tray, cut side up.

Spoon a bit of the mixture over each tomato, stirring as you go because the garlic tends to sink.

Bake the tomatoes between 4 to 6 hours. The longer you bake them, the more concentrated their flavor will be.

Cool tomatoes before transferring them to a platter. These can be served right away or will keep in the refrigerator for weeks.

Serve these simple but flavorful tomatoes as a garnish for a brunch or as a side with roast chicken or grilled steak.

Notes

When tomatoes are in season and are juicy and full of sweet flavor, you can make a big batch. The great thing about these tomatoes is that they will keep in the refrigerator for weeks.

Very Tasty Tomatoes!

I just made this recipe. I have to say it was very easy to follow. The end result... DELICIOUS.
I keep them in the oven for 4.5 hrs, they came out very moist and tender.

Authentic

It had a authentic italian taste to it, I much prefer sun-dried yet and either are perfect.

difference to sun dried

How different is this to sun dried tomatoes?

Soft and Still Juicy

These tomatoes are different than sun-dried tomatoes as they are not dried as long, leaving them a bit "meaty" and juicy inside. You could cook these tomatoes longer and this will dry them out and concentrate their flavor, making them more like sun-dried tomatoes.

It all depends what you are using them for I guess. The great thing about this particular method is the tomatoes can be served as is. Unlike sun-dried tomatoes, these tomatoes are great served as a side with grilled chicken, steak, pork...and like sun-dried tomatoes they are even good tossed in pasta.

Very Popular!

I've made these tomatoes twice now and each time they disappear very quickly. I've also passed the recipe on to a friend who was very pleased with the results. I'm making them again today for Christmas dinner.

Thanks for the great (and very easy) recipe.

Awesome!

I made these tomatoes and the flavor was intense and delicious!
I served them with a nice pan seared Arctic Char and my guests went nuts over them!
I stored them as suggested and after a day or two I sliced them up and tossed them with some capellini for an easy and yummy dinner during the week.

Thanks for a super recipe and easy to prepare as the previous poster mentioned.

Inspiring

It is amazing that a simple tomato can turn out to be an extra ordinary treat. I haven't decided what to do with them yet except to eat them for now.

What is Bailey?

I watched the video about Herbs de provence. She said Rosemary, Marjoram (spelling), Thyme, Basil, and Bailey???. She also said the better ones include lavender and fennel seeds. I have all these herbs except Bailey in my herb garden and would love to figure out how to make my own!

Also, I think Dawn was saying "bay leaves".

Let us know how it works for you. You could also post a question in our new forum:
