Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g waxy potatoes small to medium, halved
  • 1 zucchini sliced thicker
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 150 g feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet or casserole dish
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat).
  2. Step 2: Take a large casserole dish or a deep baking sheet. Add the halved potatoes, zucchini slices, and diced bell pepper.
  3. Step 3: Drizzle with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly with your hands so that every piece of vegetable gets coated with some oil and seasoning.
  4. Step 4: Crumble the feta cheese with your fingers and sprinkle it evenly over all the vegetables.
  5. Step 5: Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, and the feta is lightly browned.
  6. Step 6: Carefully remove the dish from the oven – it is hot! Serve the crispy feta potatoes with roasted vegetables immediately. It tastes best when it's still hot and crispy.

Notes

This dish is super flexible. You can substitute vegetables like broccoli, cherry tomatoes (add halfway through baking), red onion, sweet potatoes, or eggplant. Instead of feta, try Halloumi (gets crispy) or goat cheese. Add fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano. For protein, add chicken breast cubes or sausage. Add chili flakes for heat.
Tips: Don't overcrowd the baking sheet (use two if needed) so vegetables roast instead of steam. Cut vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking. For extra crispy potatoes, rinse them in cold water and dry well before baking (optional). You can chop the vegetables ahead of time and store in the fridge, adding oil, spices, and feta just before baking.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat best in the oven (approx. 180°C) to regain crispiness; microwave is okay but makes them soft. Freezing is not recommended as the vegetables become mushy.
