The next best thing to homemade sundried tomatoes! They burst with flavor and are a cinch to make. Note that I do not even add olive oil, there is no need! The only trick is to have the time to forget about them in a very low oven for a few hours. They are wonderful as appetizers with a little goat cheese sprinkled on them, or simply naked, as a side dish.

- Lay the tomatoes cut-side up in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with the salt, rosemary and fresh thyme and bake in preheated oven for 2½ hours.

Deb– it’s the most perfect thing you could say!!!
Madame ,merci.
La préparation de ces petites tomates sont si faciles et si délicieuses.
Je vous avoue que j’ai appliqué au début votre recette sans trop de convictions:!:!!
Mais , Madame, , en plus d’être délicieuses , elles se conservent très bien et donne au plat principal une touche de rouge qui attire l’œil .
Merci

Que ça me fait plaisir, Rose, que vous ayiez même remarqué combien elles sont aussi délicieuses que présentables! Merci pour ce beau compliment!J’adore!
I love these as part of selection of interesting, healthy things when guests are arriving for a dinner party. These wonderfully flavorful tomatoes are a great upgrade from conventional crudite, and a much healthier alternative to a cheese plate.
I have a ton of tomatoes to use up- wondering how I might store these for future use? Thanks!
Wonderful question! They freeze beautifully! Just make sure you line them up in one layer on a shallow airtight tupperware and you are in for a treat all year round!
Ces tomates sont à la fois succulentes, faciles à réaliser , et tellement décoratives …
Merci
Merci à vous! J’adore aussi cette petite recette, elle est si simple n’est-ce pas?!
