Garlic Roasted Tomatoes with Feta and Basil

We have been eating these delicious garlic roasted tomatoes with feta and basil as a side dish for many years. Roasting the tomatoes gives them a nice depth of flavor and sweetness, and I love the freshness from the basil and the salty creaminess of the feta cheese gives a nice pop to the dish. These roasted tomatoes pair nicely with steak, pork, chicken, or seafood.

Garlic Roasted Tomatoes with Feta and Basil

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil, more if needed
• 6-7 Campari tomatoes, halved   (***other small tomatoes will work but may need a longer roasting time)
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• Dried basil, to taste
• Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
• 2-3 tbsp feta cheese, diced or crumbled
• Fresh basil, finely chopped

How to Make Garlic Roasted Tomatoes with Feta and Basil

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a small baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Place the tomato halves, cut side up, in the prepared baking dish. Slide a few garlic slivers into the top of each tomato half.

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the tomato halves then season them with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes, to taste.

Place into the oven to roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and juicy.

Remove from the oven and top with feta cheese and chopped basil. Enjoy.
