Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
Peel and roughly chop the red onion.
Peel the garlic cloves.
On a baking sheet, combine the cherry tomatoes, red onion, and garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
Roast the mixture in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted vegetable mixture to a blender or food processor.
Add fresh basil leaves, paprika, and low-fat cream cheese to the blender.
Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.
Taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the tomato spread to a serving bowl. Enjoy as a spread on sandwiches, as a dip with bread or crackers, or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
