Simple Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables with Feta: Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole
• 1 small to medium red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced
• 1-2 teaspoons dried oregano
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Optional: Fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare your veggies: slice the zucchini into rounds, cut the red onion into wedges, and slice the red and yellow bell peppers into strips.
3. In a large oven-safe pan, add the zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell peppers, Kalamata olives, and garlic.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle the oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over everything. Gently toss to coat the veggies well in the oil and seasonings.
5. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer to help them roast evenly.
6. Put the pan in the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, gently stir the vegetables to make sure they cook evenly and get those tasty caramelized edges.
7. When the vegetables are tender and slightly golden, take the pan out of the oven. Immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top so it melts just a little from the heat.
8. If you like, drizzle with a little lemon juice to brighten the flavors, and finish with fresh parsley or dill for a fresh touch.
9. Serve warm, either as a delicious side dish or paired with some crusty bread for a light main course.

Pro Tips to Make This Recipe Shine

• Even roasting: Make sure your vegetables are spread out in a single layer — crowding the pan can make them steam rather than roast.
• Watch your oven: Every oven is different, so check the vegetables at 20 minutes to avoid burning but still get that beautiful caramelization.
• Make it vegan: Skip the feta or try a plant-based cheese alternative to keep it dairy-free.
• Storing leftovers: Cool and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying them out.
• Serving ideas: These roasted veggies are great on their own, but you can also toss them with quinoa or pasta for a more substantial meal.

Equipment You’ll Need

• Large oven-safe pan or roasting pan
• Sharp knife for chopping vegetables
• Cutting board
• Mixing spoon or spatula for tossing ingredients
• Measuring spoons for olive oil, oregano, and seasoning
