Notes
- Roast until the cherry tomatoes burst – or slice the tomatoes before roasting as you really want the tomatoes to soften and release their juices into the dip.
- Slice or dice the onion – If you like onions, then slice them thinly and roast. Or, dice them finely and let them disappear in the dip.
- Change it up – use your favorite vegetables. You can add mushrooms, artichokes, kalamata olives, diced eggplant, you name it!
- Make it with a different cheese – If you're not a fan of feta, substitute it with a mozzarella ball, ricotta, goat cheese, or add a burrata ball after roasting.
- This dip is best served warm.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
