Ingredients
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Warm pita bread or fresh vegetable sticks, for serving
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the halved cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the 1 tablespoon olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Toss the tomatoes gently to coat evenly and spread them out in a single layer.
Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the tomatoes roast, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Stir in the chopped fresh dill and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Transfer the whipped feta dip to a serving bowl and top with the roasted tomatoes.
Serve immediately with warm pita bread or fresh vegetable sticks.
