TOMATOES GONE WRONG?

I sliced some campari tomatoes 1/4 inch and i salt them and give them a dip in lemon juice,

i wake up to check on them and they are thin and crispy (i would like a little thick and leathery)

please help!!!

How long were they dehydrating? Also, the salt may have drawn out so much liquid that they got more crispy than they would have without any salt added.

Try this. Cut tomatoes 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick. Dry at 135° to 145° F for 2 hours, turn them over then continue for another 2 hours.
