So sad that I have waited almost 35 years to try this!!!! The first batch never made it out of the oven, they were "tasted" to death. These little gems are great on everything! Eggs, roasted veggies, cheese, pesto...

Sundried tomatoes are so expensive, so I usually skip over recipes that call for them...until now! I had about six Roma tomatoes that were starting to go bad and I remembered seeing this recipe recommended on The Buzz recently, so I gave it a try. It worked like a charm and now I have beautiful "sundried" tomatoes hanging out in olive oil in my fridge. I recently bought more Romas when they were on sale at 4 pounds for $1.00 so I could make even more of these gems and have them on hand. Thanks for a great way to save money that will let me try recipes I usually skip over!

Came out wonderful. I sliced my tomatoes into small strips and they only took about 2 hours in the oven.

This worked really well. I used cherry tomatoes, and sprinkled them with a little bit of garlic powder and basil

Ohmygosh!! I was worried about how to store these, but that's not going to be a problem because my family gobbles them up as fast as I can make them. And yes, it's pretty slow. First batch with smaller tomatoes took about 7 hours. Second batch using bigger heirloom tomatoes (cut into half-Roma sized pieces) took about 11 hours. Amazing taste. No need to even add salt. Cooking on parchment paper was a great tip too.

YUM! i have wanted to make sun-dried tomatoes for SO LONG but wasn't quite sure how to do it. I read alot of the review, thanks every one for tips and ideas. Basically i used all dif. types of tomatoes, didn't seed em, i'm too lazy, and let em go for a LONGGGG time. the bigger pieces cooked most of yesterday and are back in today. i like that you can take them out to use your oven for other things, then put em back in when you have the time. the taste is TRULY a rich deep intensity, JUST what i wanted without spending $5.00 on a tiny bag, esp. when you have them growing out of your ears in the summer garden! In the middle of winter i'll pull them out for a 'special' topping on my pizza, for a tiny taste of summer! THANK YOU for the easy recipe!!! You cannot do this wrong! It's failproof!

These are GREAT! I dried them for about 36 hours in the dehydrator and then pack them in olive oil and chopped garlic cloves- very flavorful!

I made these with Grape Tomatoes - Yummy & Sweet! Did @ 200 in convection for about 3 hours. Perfect! And a good, time saving tip is to put several on the cutting board and hold steady with your hand or something flat - like a tupperware lid - and slice in half sideways.

I had an abundance of cherry tomatoes and this recipe worked great. I used a melon baller to scrape out the seeds after cutting them in half. It took about 5 hours in the oven for the smaller pieces. This was a great option to save some tomatoes before they went bad!

I never made sun dried tomatoes and probably only tasted them a couple of times in my life. I used some smaller roma style tomatoes. I had them in the oven about 6 hours and they seemed way to dry! Most were as "crisp as chips." I found out that a smaller tomato is not best for this and that romas were a drier tomato. Use a good plump tomato and this recipe should work good. Don't assume it will take all day! Check them after 4 hours or so and about every hour. I am currently rehydrating them in some boiling water to see which ones are salvageable. The recipe does not say how to store them, if in the fridge than how? Do I put them in a bag or in a jar with olive oil with or without seasonings. It also does not suggest on how to rehydrate them for future recipes or if that is even neccessary. I also wish I knew what to look for so that they didn't get so hard and dry, which is the most important thing. The directions just said this could take all day so I didn't bother them. I will probably store them in olive oil in the fridge now that I am in the process of having to rehydrate. I may try them again with a more plump tomato, check on them to make sure the center stays softer, and then store in the freezer as suggested by others. I really wished this would have worked perfectly. Maybe, I just needed more detailed instructions my first time. It would have helped.
