Description
These Lemon & Feta Oven-Roasted Potatoes combine creamy feta, zesty lemon, and hearty roasted potatoes for a warm, Mediterranean-inspired side dish that’s simple to make and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
4 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or red potatoes preferred)
200 g feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
- In a baking dish, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Crumble the feta generously over the top of the potatoes.
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden on the edges, and the feta is lightly browned.
- Serve warm as a side dish or vegetarian main.
Notes
Swap thyme with oregano or rosemary for a different flavor.
Add chili flakes for a spicier version.
Sweet potatoes can be used instead of regular potatoes for a touch of sweetness.
Add chickpeas or sliced olives for a heartier dish.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 °F (175 °C) for 10–15 minutes for best texture.
