A couple of weeks ago I found a great video on how to oven dry tomatoes. I decided to give it a try, and found that this is the BEST oven dried tomatoes I have ever had. The extra virgin olive oil was a nice touch that I had not used before.
Chef Keith Snow uses extra virgin olive oil, garlic pepper and Herbes De Provence, which is a combination of dried herbs (oregano, basil, sage and rosemary among a few others). I used a little fresh basil and fresh minced garlic instead of the garlic pepper and Herbes De Provence. You can add whatever you like to your dried tomatoes to customize them to your tastes. The possibilities are endless!
Chef Keith Snow's Oven Dried Tomatoes Recipe

20 organic or garden fresh Roma tomatoes
large bunch of fresh thyme
kosher salt to taste
black pepper to taste

OPTIONAL: garlic pepper or herbs de provence
Directions
Chef's Note: This may take longer depending on the type of tomatoes, how big, your oven etc.. look for them to shrink considerably ans get very wrinkled. Also, these are to be kept in a sterile jar in the refrigerator. They are NOT shelf stable.
