Ingredients

• 2 medium eggplant
• 2 medium red bell pepper
• 2 medium yellow bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 cup feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the eggplants into 1-inch cubes and the bell peppers into 1-inch strips. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the eggplant and peppers.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and add the dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned vegetables out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter. Crumble the feta cheese over the top and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Drizzle with lemon juice before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
