I often put a pasta dish in my daughter's bento box. She likes pasta with semi-dried tomatoes, but they are expensive if you buy them. I saw a TV show introducing a recipe one day and I tried to make them myself. It was so easy!
Besides, these semi-dried tomatoes are super delicious before drizzling on the olive oil.

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 140℃. Preheat to 120℃ if you are using a convection oven.
2

Cut the tomatoes into 4 or 6 pieces. They take longer to dry if they are large.
3

Line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper, and line up the tomatoes. Sprinkle on some salt and put them in the oven.
4

Check it in about one and a half hours. If the edges of the tomatoes have started to brown, they are almost done. Check them occasionally and take them out of the oven at your preferred dryness.
5

Cool them off and top them on a cracker with cheese and pickles.
6

Or on a thinly sliced baguette with ricotta cheese.
7

If you want to preserve them, place them in a sterilized jar, pour in some extra virgin olive oil, and mix in dried oregano or herb mix.
8

Store it in the refrigerator. The olive oil may become solid, but it will return to liquid when you bring it to room temperature.
