Tomato Powder - Dehydrator
"This stuff is great for adding a little zip to your soups, sauces and stews. Blend it in sour cream or yogurt for a tomato(y) dip. It's a great way to use up your tomatoes. The thinner you slice the tomatoes, the faster they will dry. Makes 1 cup."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Wash and core the tomatoes.
Step 2
Slice them very thin. approximately 1/8" or less.
Step 3
I don't drain the tomatoes of their seeds and liquid as I want as much flavor as I can get. This of course is optional
Step 4
Place on screened trays for your dehydrator. If you don't have screens you can place them on parchment paper. You can spray a very fine mist of cooking spray or oil on your trays to keep the tomatoes from sticking, however, I rarely do this
Step 5
Dehydrate at 150F or whatever your highest setting is. Remember, we are going to dry these to a crisp!
Step 6
After about 3-4 hours open your dehydrator and loosen the slices and flip them over. This will keep them from solidly sticking to the screens or parchment.
Step 7
Continue to dehydrate until slices are completely dehydrated, dry and crisp
Step 8
Remove and place in blender. (I use a Magic Bullet for this and it works great)
Step 9
Blend to a fine powder and store in a jar or zip lock bag
