Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F or set your dehydrator to 135°F. Slice the beefsteak tomatoes into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds; aim for about six slices per tomato.
  2. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet for the oven, or on dehydrator trays, ensuring they do not overlap.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and fresh parsley or dried Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly and drizzle over the tomato slices.
  4. For dehydrator, arrange the seasoned tomato slices in a single layer and dehydrate at 135°F for about 12 to 24 hours until crisp.
  5. For oven, place the cooling rack with the seasoned tomato slices on a baking sheet and bake for 3 to 5 hours, checking every 30 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chips. Optional: broil for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese.
  7. Allow chips to cool completely on the cooling rack before serving.
