Sheet Pan Baked Feta With Vegetables Food

SHEET PAN VEGETABLE DINNER WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets with 2 tablespoons olive oil each.
• Distribute zucchini, carrots, red bell peppers, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and green onions between the 2 baking sheets. Season with garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place 1 rosemary sprig and 1 bay leaf on each baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are lightly browned and easily pierced with a fork, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven, distribute feta evenly between the 2 baking sheets, and return to oven. Bake until feta is slightly melted, 5 to 10 minutes.

SHEET-PAN BAKED FETA WITH BROCCOLINI, TOMATOES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack set in the lower third. On a sheet pan, combine the broccolini, tomatoes, onion and lemon slices with the olive oil and toss. Add cumin and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated. Nestle the feta slices into the vegetables. (It's OK if they break apart a little.)
• Roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through but leaving the feta in place, until the broccolini is charred at the tips, the stems are easily pierced with a fork and the tomato skins start to blister and break down.
• Serve over orzo or farro. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the remaining lemon half for squeezing. Top with fresh herbs, if using.

SHEET-PAN FETA WITH CHICKPEAS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. On a baking sheet, stir together the chickpeas, tomatoes, shallot, olive oil, honey and chile flakes. Season with salt, then spread in an even layer. Arrange the feta among the chickpeas. Roast until the feta and tomatoes are soft and the chickpeas are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes (no need to stir). Eat right away. (The feta will harden as it cools; reheat leftovers.)

ROASTED FETA WITH OLIVES AND RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Cut cheese into 1/2-inch-thick slices and divide evenly among 4 small flameproof baking dishes (or arrange in 1 layer in a large one). Sprinkle oregano and pepper over cheese.
• Stir together roasted peppers, olives, and oil in a small bowl, then spoon mixture over and around cheese.
• Broil 2 to 4 inches from heat until edges of cheese are golden, about 5 minutes.

BAKED FETA PASTA WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine grape tomatoes, asparagus, zucchini, onion, bell pepper, and corn kernels in a baking dish large enough to accommodate all vegetables. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper flakes as well as a hit of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and make a well in the center of the dish. Place feta blocks in the well and drizzle with more olive oil. Season feta with salt, pepper, and a pinch of pepper flakes. Nestle thyme sprigs into the veggies around the dish.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until vegetables are soft and feta is lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
• When the vegetables and feta have cooked for 25 minutes, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Set aside.
• When the vegetables and feta are finished cooking, turn the broiler to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) and broil vegetables for 1 minute for some final browning.
• Squeeze lemon over vegetables and feta and stir in fresh parsley. Stir in rigatoni and reserved pasta water to help feta coat pasta evenly. Season with salt and pepper as needed and sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese.
