Looking to add something delicious to the Shabbos table without more work? Hello, tomato.
If you’re looking to add another dip to your Shabbos repertoire, but aren’t really looking for more work, this tomato dip might be your answer.
One week, after shopping miscommunications and poor menu planning, I was left with a whole lot of grape tomatoes at the end of the week. I needed to do something more than toss a few in a salad to avoid wasting them. And this dip was the result of that improvisation.
- 2 pints grape tomatoes
- 15-25 cloves garlic, to your taste
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1-2 jalapeno peppers, halved, optional
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Toss tomatoes and garlic cloves with olive oil, kosher salt and pepper. If you prefer your dips spicy, add a jalapeño or two to the roasting pan.
- Roast until there’s a bit of char - about 30 minutes. Let cool and blend. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
If your food processor is already out (and if you buy your garlic cloves already peeled like I do), this dip will add approximately 2-3 minutes to your Shabbos prep routine. I call that a win!

This is an awesome dip that just happens to be healthy too. Can’t say that about most dips. The roasted flavor adds so much to a tomato dip. And as a bonus, it has no mayo.
(My kids over blended one week’s batch, and they thouggt it tasted like ketchup!)

This tomato dip is the best! I make it every week! I had a lot of extra tomatoes one week so I made tons of dip and froze it in small containers. I took one out of the freezer this past shabbos and it tasted Gr8! Thank u for this amazing recipe!!

I put in 5 cloves of garlic and it was way too much- it totally overpowered the tomatoes. Great dip otherwise.

Do you blend the garlic and tomatoes with oil after roasting ? Recipe print out doesn’t say…
