How to dry tomatoes in a conventional oven: the easiest way
Sun-dried tomatoes are a delicious addition to baked goods, first courses, or simply as an independent snack. Traditionally, special devices are used to cook such vegetables. But even if you don't have one, a regular oven will do just fine.

5. If the oven is gas/old/not equipped with an airing mode and such low temperatures, you can leave the door slightly open to allow for faster evaporation of moisture. Too high a temperature will make baked tomatoes, not dried ones, so it's important that it's no more than 70 degrees, because it's the slowest evaporation that's needed.
