Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds (900g) Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, roughly chopped
- 4 tablespoons (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 ounces (170g) feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a large rimmed baking sheet inside to heat up. Wash and cut your potatoes into evenly sized 1-inch chunks – no need to peel if using Yukon Golds. The consistent size ensures even cooking throughout your Greek Roasted Potatoes With Peppers & Feta. Core and slice your bell peppers and roughly chop the red onion into pieces similar in size to the potatoes.
- Step 2: Create the Seasoning Mixture In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined. This Mediterranean-inspired dressing will infuse your potatoes and vegetables with classic Greek flavors as they roast.
- Step 3: Coat the Vegetables Add the potato chunks, bell peppers, and red onion to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Use your hands or a spatula to toss everything thoroughly, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the flavorful oil mixture. This coating helps achieve that signature Greek potato crispiness.
- Step 4: Arrange and Roast Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetable mixture across it in a single layer. Listen for that satisfying sizzle as the potatoes hit the hot surface – that’s the sound of crispiness developing! Return the sheet to the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
- Step 5: Toss and Continue Roasting After 25 minutes, remove the baking sheet and gently toss the potatoes and peppers with a spatula to promote even browning. Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown with crispy edges and fork-tender centers.
- Step 6: Add the Finishing Touches Once roasted to perfection, transfer your Greek Roasted Potatoes With Peppers & Feta to a serving dish. While still hot, sprinkle generously with crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to slightly soften from the heat. Finish with a scattering of fresh chopped parsley for a bright, herbaceous note that complements the rich, roasted flavors.
