Ingredients

• 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Za'atar seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoons Lemon juice (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir occasionally and let them cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they begin to soften and blister.

Step 4

Sprinkle the za'atar seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the tomatoes. Stir gently to coat the tomatoes with the spices.

Step 5

Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to fully absorb the flavors and become slightly caramelized. Be careful not to overcook to avoid a mushy texture.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired, for added brightness.

Step 7

Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish, a topping for flatbread, or a flavorful addition to salads.
