DRYING INSTRUCTIONS
- Slice tomatoes ¼” to ½” (6mm to 12mm)
- A thinner slice yields a crispier chip, but it also lends itself to sticking.
- A broader slice yields a more intense flavor and a fruit leather-like texture.
- Dehydrate at 125F/52C for 8-12 hours in a dehydrator
- Because tomatoes are botanically a fruit, you can increase the temperature to 135-140F for a speedier dry.
- Flip after 5 hours
- After 5 hours, flip the tomato slices to prevent the chance of their sticking to your trays.
- Make a Dryness Check
- Allow your samples to cool for five minutes before snapping them when they’re entirely dry.
- Condition
- Place in an airtight jar to keep fresh.
