2large firm tomatoessliced thinly (about 1/16th of an inch)
kosher salt
cooking spray
Instructions
Lay sliced tomatoes on a cutting board.
Sprinkle generously with salt, let sit for 15 minutes.
Pat the tomatoes with a paper towel to soak up the moisture.
Flip the tomatoes, re-salt and let sit for another 5 minutes.
Repeat the process with the paper towel.
Spray a flat, microwaveable plate with cooking spray (I used olive oil spray)
Arrange the tomato slices on the plate and spray them with cooking spray.
Microwave for 5 minutes on power level 7. (see note)
Remove the plate from the microwave, carefully flip the tomatoes and microwave for another minute.
Remove from the microwave, transfer the tomatoes which should be mostly dry and crisp at this point to a cooling rack.
Notes
*My microwave has 10 power levels. I reduced it to 7 from 10 for this. If you can't adjust your power levels, just check the tomatoes during the initial 5 minutes. They should be starting to dry and stiffen by the end of the time period. It might be shorter or longer depending on your microwave.Lightly adapted from Food Network magazine.
