It makes an impressive, delicious appetizer, side or snack that couldn’t be easier to make. The combination of warm, sweet, juicy tomatoes and creamy, salty, tangy whipped feta dip is just sensational. I used some locally grown tri-coloured cherry tomatoes from our farmer market (it's even better if you grew them), but conventional red cherry tomatoes will work just fine.

 
Roasted Cherry TomatoesWhipped Feta Dip
  • 400 g Tri-colour cherry tomatoes, halved (or leave it whole if desired)
  • 12 Garlic cloves, peeled
  • 3-4 Thyme leaves
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Fleur de sel
  • 200 g Feta cheese, torn into a few pieces (I used Lesbos Feta)
  • 100 g Sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 tsp Lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp Water (or honey if you perfer)
  • 1/2 tsp Chilli flakes to garnish
  1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Place the cherry tomatoes, garlic cloves, and thyme leaves in a small baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the cumin seeds and fleur de sel. Toss to combine.
  2. Roast tomatoes until they are soft and beginning to burst, about 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil setting and broil until tomatoes are blistered and slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
  3. While tomatoes roast, make the whipped Feta dip. Place the Feta cheese, sour cream, olive oil, lemon zest and water in the bowl of a food processor or a blender. Process until smooth, about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the processor bowl as necessary.
  4. Spread the whipped Feta into a shallow bowl and top with the warm roasted cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle chilli flakes over.

A friend of mine made some roasted cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta with pasta for our lunch. This sounds as delicious. Roasted cherry tomatoes have become one of my favorites this summer. Happy rest of your weekend Angie.

I made a whipped feta a while ago and while it was good, I wasn't blown away. Perhaps I'll try your version, it definitely looks better than mine.
