Question by Hello.: Why can’t i make sun dried tomatoes in a very hot oven (350 degrees)?
I don’t want to waste gas or time so I was planning to cook the turkey and tomatoes at the same time (for xmas). The turkey cooks 350 degrees for 5 hours. Can i still cook the sun dried tomatoes or will it come out gross/ not work? Are there ways i can still cook the tomatoes in 350 degrees by putting foil on it or something? What can i do to make this work?

Best answer:

Answer by It’s That Guy
Sun dried tomatoes are not -cooked- they are only -dried-. If you do them at 350 degrees they will cook before they dry. You will have a ‘maillard reaction’, meaning that some of the sugars in the tomatoes will caramelize, so they will brown and the flavors will change.

  1. Because an oven is not a sun.
    Sun-dried tomatoes are dried out by the sun.
    Putting tomatoes in an oven cause the tomatoes to cook, not to dry out.

  2. Halve the tomatoes, place on a tray and cover with olive oil and sea salt. They need to be put somewhere warm and not hot. The salt will help draw the moisture out of the tomato. They will take 24 hours to dry out normally.

  3. Follow this link to make sun dried tomatoes without the sun.
