FAQ ❓
How do you roast the apricots?
You can cook them in an air fryer, just like we did, by following the steps in our recipe right here! If you prefer to use the oven, arrange the apricots cut-side up in a baking dish and roast them for 15 to 20 minutes at 370°F/190°C, until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
Can I substitute another spice for the za'atar?
Yes, you can use Herbes de Provence or thyme if you don't have za'atar, though this will slightly alter the final flavor.
How long can the whipped feta be stored?
Whipped feta keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container, but it is best enjoyed soon after making to appreciate its freshness.
What do you suggest serving with this spread?
This spread pairs perfectly with toasted bread, crackers, breadsticks, or crunchy vegetables like carrots and cucumbers.
