Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Vegetables

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

Cheese and Seasoning

  • 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste (go easy 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). Wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size. In a large baking dish, combine the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.
  2. Add the Feta: Nestle the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish among the seasoned potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle a little olive oil over the feta to ensure it softens and bakes beautifully.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. Stir the potatoes gently once halfway through cooking to promote even roasting. The dish is ready when the potatoes are golden and tender, the tomatoes have burst, and the feta has softened and turned slightly browned on top.
  4. Stir and Serve: Remove from the oven and stir the baked feta into the vegetables, creating a creamy and tangy sauce that coats all the ingredients. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm, or allow to cool for a healthy meal prep option.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes for faster and more even cooking; larger potatoes may require longer baking time.
  • Adjust salt carefully since feta cheese is naturally salty.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or parsley add a bright finish but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • For a spicier variation, add a pinch of red chili flakes before baking.
  • This dish pairs well with a side salad or crusty bread.
