Cheesy Tomato Crisps

Your summer garden is likely bursting with awesome, so we’re giving you a few ideas on how to take that awesome to the next level with these cheesy tomato crisps!

A popular ingredient in many types of cooking, sundried tomatoes are easy to make. The best time to dry-preserve tomatoes is late summer, when they’re cheap, abundant, and tasty. Simply cut tomatoes into ¼ inch slices and place them in a dehydrator for at least 8–10 hours.

While you’re in the kitchen, set aside some of those gorgeous tomato slices to make into Cheesy Tomato Crisps. They’re the high-brow cousin to regular Tomato Chips (which can prepared simply with a sprinkle of salt and dried basil). This recipe gives the finished snack a nice cheesy, smoky taste—you might even want to make a double batch.
