Recipe for homemade tomato powder

When the tomatoes are getting close to the point where they’ve seen better days, it’s time to make tomato powder! We don’t want any food waste.

Tomato powder is the little extra seasoning you can use to boost your dishes and various dips and dressings.

I used a dehydrator for this recipe, and the amount of tomatoes is basically irrelevant in relation to the recipe.

Ingredients

• Tomato

Instructions

• 1. Slice the tomatoes into ultra-thin slices using a mandoline slicer.
  2. Place the tomato slices on the drying tray and set the tray in the dehydrator.
  3. Give them 22 hours at 52.5 degrees Celsius (41 degrees Fahrenheit). They should be completely dry - so that they break when you bend them.
  4. When the time is up, let them cool down before proceeding further - otherwise, the condensation will soften them.
  5. Put the dried tomato slices in a mini chopper, coffee grinder, or blender, depending on the size of the batch you are making.
  6. Blend them into powder and pour the powder into a jar or use it immediately.
