Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F).
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a medium-sized baking dish.
Pit and roughly chop the kalamata olives, adding them to the dish with the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and sprinkle them over the tomatoes and olives.
Place the dairy-free feta cheese block in the center of the dish, surrounded by the tomato and olive mixture.
Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil evenly over the feta, tomatoes, and olives.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper over all ingredients in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the feta is slightly golden on top.
While the feta is baking, tear or roughly chop the fresh basil leaves.
Remove the dish from the oven, and immediately drizzle the lemon juice over the baked feta and vegetables.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve warm with fresh crusty bread or as a salad topper.
