Roast until the tomatoes have burst and are starting to brown, about 18 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine feta, cream cheese, onion powder and 2 tablespoons oil in a food processor; process until mostly smooth, about 15 seconds. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins; add to the feta mixture along with lemon juice and water; process until smooth, about 20 seconds.
