Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the cherry tomatoes and place them on a baking sheet.

Once the roasted tomatoes and garlic have cooled slightly, add them to the bowl with the feta cheese.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, red chili flakes, and fresh basil leaves to the bowl.
Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
