Wash the tomatoes, cut in half, using a teaspoon, remove the watery middle with seeds.
Place the prepared halves of tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment, add salt, sprinkle with olive oil and send them to a preheated 60 ° C oven for 6-8 hours. It is necessary to dry tomatoes with the oven door ajar! Tomatoes will be ready when moisture evaporates from them, but the fruits themselves will remain sufficiently elastic.
