Sunset tomato dip

A bowl of baked tomatoes with melted cheese and herbs sits next to sliced flatbread on a wooden surface.

This is my favorite dish for summer evenings. I love preparing it in advance and taking it to the park with fresh bread to share with friends.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup
    plant-based yogurt
  • Handful of cherry tomatoes
  • Squeeze of lemon juice & lemon zest
  • Cumin, sugar, salt (to taste)
  • Olive oil & chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Spread the yogurt onto a shallow bowl. Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Chill in the fridge.
  2. Toss cherry tomatoes in a tray with olive oil, cumin, sugar, lemon zest, and salt. Roast at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes.
  3. Spoon the hot roasted tomatoes over the cold yogurt.
  4. Top with extra lemon zest and chili flakes. Serve with crusty fresh bread!
