Wash the tomatoes (no soap needed just a good rinse and possible scrub)

Cut the tomatoes into 1/4 inch slices and dispose of ends

Place onto food dryer trays tightly packed

Place the lid on top once filling your trays or when out of tomatoes

Turn on and let dry for at least over night or longer until fully dried

Let the tomatoes cool then use a thin metal spatula to pop off the slices

Store dried sliced tomatoes in an air tight container until ready to turn them to powder

Use a food processor or blinder (I have a Ninja that we use) to chop into powder form

Pour dried tomato powder into an air tight container with label and date for winter storage
