  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

  2. Arrange tomato slices on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle lightly with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

  3. Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven until they become leathery, a bit brown, and crunchy around the edges, approximately 2 hours. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
