- Use Fresh, Ripe Tomatoes
For the best flavor and texture, select small, ripe vine tomatoes. Their natural sweetness pairs wonderfully with the earthy cumin and creates a rich, savory snack. - Don’t Skip the Parchment Paper
Line the baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the tomatoes from sticking. This ensures they roast evenly and makes cleanup much easier. - Monitor Oven Temperature
Set the oven to a low temperature (300°F) to dry the tomatoes slowly without burning them. Regularly check for desired dryness, making sure they are still moist inside, but not too soft. - Sprinkle Seasoning Evenly
To ensure the tomatoes are well-seasoned, sprinkle the salt, sugar, and cumin evenly over them before drizzling with olive oil. This allows each tomato to absorb the flavors during roasting. - Serve with Accompaniments
Dried tomatoes with cumin are perfect on their own, but you can elevate the dish by serving them with fresh cheese or on slices of toasted bread rubbed with garlic for extra flavor. - Let Cool Before Serving
Allow the tomatoes to cool for 30 minutes after roasting. This enhances the flavor and makes them easier to handle when serving or storing.
