If you’re looking for a simple and flavorful way to enjoy flavorful garden roasted vegetables, then add this one to your rotation. This side dish is simple to make and is creamy and comforting with the help of a block of oven-baked feta cheese. 

You may have seen this trend on social media where a block of feta is placed in the middle of tomatoes and baked until soft and creamy when mixed through. This recipe is similar, but there are a LOT more veggies involved. We use zucchini, broccoli, tomato, onion, and bell pepper for a nutrient-dense side that’s full of healthy fiber. 

You can toss these roasted veggies into pasta, salads, or even eat them on their own paired with your favorite proteins. The layers of flavor are satisfying and any leftovers can be warmed up throughout the week whenever you need a dose of veggies.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Zucchini & Yellow Squash – Green and yellow squash add bulk and soak up the flavors of all the vegetables and seasonings. 
  • Broccoli – Adds a nutrient-dense green vegetable. 
  • Orange Bell Pepper – Adds a fresh garden taste and crunch.
  • Cherry Tomatoes – Gives the roasted vegetables a natural sweetness from fresh tomato flavor. 
  • Red Onion – Adds a mild onion flavor and purple color. 
  • Garlic – Infuses this side dish with a healthy dose of garlic. 
  • Olive Oil – Helps keep the vegetables tender on the inside by forming a crust on the outside. 
  • Feta Cheese – Adds a delicious salty bite that pairs well with the vegetables. 
  • Salt & Pepper – Balances and enhances the flavors in the dish. 

If you like a bit of spice, add red pepper flakes to taste.

How To Make Roasted Vegetables With Feta

  1. Prepare for baking: Preheat the oven to 425 Fahrenheit and chop your vegetables. Add them to a rimmed baking sheet, and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to fully combine. 
  2. Prepare feta cheese: Add a block of feta cheese to the center of the baking sheet in the center of the vegetables, and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Season cheese with salt and pepper. 
  3. Assemble & bake: Add to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Toss the vegetables but leave the feta right in the middle. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. Gently stir the feta in with the vegetables until it coats everything. Serve warm. 

Recipe Tips

  1. Make sure the oven is at 425 F for roasting. Roasting at a lower temperature will cause the vegetables to steam and not roast properly. 
  2. Cut all the vegetables so they are roughly the same size, this will make sure they cook evenly and all at the same time. 
  3. If you can only find crumbled feta, roast the veggies first for 15 minutes, then sprinkle crumbled feta on top before returning to the oven. 
  4. Don’t overcrowd the vegetables in the sheet pan. Try to place them in a single layer around the cheese. 

Variations

  • Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice after cooking for a bright pop of fresh flavor. 
  • Chop up some fresh herbs such as oregano and basil and toss into the vegetables before roasting. 
  • Give it a kick of heat by sprinkling in some red chili flake or cayenne pepper. 
  • Add your favorite vegetables such as broccolini, mushrooms, asparagus, carrots, parsnips, and cauliflower. 
  • Replace the feta with a block of goat cheese for a salty and tangy flavor.
  • For a mild onion flavor, use shallots instead of red onion. 
  • Toss the vegetables in Italian or Greek seasoning for a complex herb flavor. 
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy dish.
