00:00 How To Make Tomato Powder

EQUIPMENT

1 Dehydrator
1 Magic Bullet
1 Silicone Brush
1 Oil Spray Bottle

INGREDIENTS

2 Cups Tomatoes Slices
1 teaspoon Olive Oil Extra Virgin

INSTRUCTIONS

Pick your tomatoes. Look for uniformly ripe ones and avoid those that have dark spots. Plum and Roma tomatoes are perfect for dehydrating. Clean all the tomatoes and cut the head of each tomato. Cut the tomatoes into thin slices and lay them on a tray, ensuring they are not touching to allow proper air circulation.
Spray a small amount of olive oil onto the dehydrator trays with plastic insert silicone and spread it using a kitchen brush. It will help to prevent any sticking during the drying process. Spread the tomato pieces onto the dehydrator trays and dehydrate until completely dried. You will know the tomatoes are dry once they turn crispy and crunchy.
After drying, place the tomatoes in the grinder of your choice. You can use a coffee grinder, a blender, or a food processor for this process. A mortar and pestle is also okay as a manual grinding method. Pulse the dried tomatoes until they are ground into a powder.
You can optionally sift the powder using a sieve, but I prefer to have some tomato bits in the powder. Transfer the powder into a glass container or a jar for later use.

NOTES

Tomatoes – use ripe tomatoes. For tomato recipes like this, you can use any variety of tomatoes you like. Even using cherry tomatoes is excellent for extra sweetness.
Drying – aside from using a dehydrator, you can use sun-drying, oven-drying, or air-drying your tomatoes. Air-dried and sun-dried tomatoes are also a perfect option, and you should try them if a dehydrator is unavailable.
Grinding – If a magic bullet is unavailable, you can use a coffee grinder, blender or food processor to make the dehydrated tomato powder.
