Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1.5 lbs (700g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy

  • 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese

Oils and Seasonings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste (use lightly as feta is salty)

Garnish

  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Meanwhile, wash and cut the baby potatoes in halves or quarters depending on their size. In a large baking dish, combine the potatoes, halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
  2. Add the Feta: Place the whole block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish, surrounded by the seasoned potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the feta to ensure it softens and bakes well.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Halfway through cooking, stir the potatoes gently to promote even roasting. The dish is ready when potatoes are golden and tender, cherry tomatoes have burst, and the feta cheese is soft with slight browning on top.
  4. Stir and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven. Stir the softened feta into the vegetables to create a creamy, tangy sauce that coats everything beautifully. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and serve warm or cooled for a healthy meal prep option.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
  • Adjust salt carefully as feta adds natural saltiness.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or parsley enhance the flavor and presentation but are optional.
  • This dish is perfect for meal prepping and can be enjoyed warm or cold.
  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for variation.
