Ingredients

• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium eggplant
• 1 medium red onion
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and prepare the vegetables: Remove seeds from the bell peppers and chop them into 1-inch pieces. Slice the zucchini and eggplant into 1/2-inch rounds, and quarter the rounds for smaller pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into wedges.

Step 3

Place the prepared vegetables and whole cherry tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the olive oil mixture over the vegetables, and toss well to ensure all vegetables are coated evenly.

Step 6

Transfer the vegetable mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the roasted vegetables.

Step 9

Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the dish and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or as a main course over your choice of whole grains.
