- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Basil leaves - 10-12 should do
- 2-3 rosemary sprigs

Instructions
- Clean and dry the tomatoes. Slice them into fairly thin slices, about a quarter inch thick or less.
- Lay out your tomatoes on dehydrator racks. Do not overlap.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes with a bit of salt, pepper, dried basil and/or dried oregano. Cover, and turn on the dehydrator at 140 degrees.
- Dry for 6-8 hours, but check them after 6 hours to ensure they do not over dry. You want them to be slightly pliable. Flip them once about half way through the process.
- Remove the tomatoes and layer them in a jar with fresh basil leaves, rosemary sprigs, and a bit more salt, pepper, dried basil and dried oregano.
- Cover them in oil and store in the refrigerator in tightly capped jars. Should last 4 days.
