olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil provides a similar flavor with healthier fats.

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: no herbs

Dried herbs are more economical and still impart flavor.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: red wine vinegar

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is less expensive and adds acidity.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: maple syrup

Maple syrup can add sweetness with a unique flavor.

Preheat the oven to 225°F.

Place tomatoes on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and season with sea salt and pepper.

Sprinkle herbs on top and toss to coat.

Roast for 2 ½-3 hours, checking every hour or so.

The tomatoes should be shriveled but not completely dried out.

Around the 2-hour mark, you could increase the temperature to 250°F to speed up the drying process a bit, and you could also spread the tomatoes apart in the pan some.
