Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them in a medium bowl.
Add the olive oil, basil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Gently toss to coat evenly.
Place the tomato halves on the baking sheet cut side up.
Bake low and slow for about 4 hours, or until they are fully dried out. Enjoy! Side Note: If you aren't going to use them right away, you can refrigerate them in a sealed jar with good olive oil and some garlic slivers (if desired) or put them in an airtight ziplock bag and store them in the freezer.
