- Cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon olive oil

- Sun-dried tomatoes originated in Italy so people would be able to enjoy tomatoes during the winter.
- Ripe tomatoes are dried to remove most of their water content, deeply concentrating the flavor.
- It takes about 20 pounds of fresh tomatoes to yield just 1 pound of sun-dried tomatoes.
- Like fresh tomatoes, the sun-dried variety is a good source of vitamins.
- Use kitchen scissors to easily cut the tomatoes into small pieces.
