Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Olives
- 1 large zucchini, sliced into ¼ inch thick half-moons (no need to peel)
- 1 red onion, sliced into wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted if possible
Seasoning and Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano, crushed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Finishing Touch
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- Fresh lemon juice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting and caramelizing the vegetables.
- Mix Vegetables and Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices, red onion wedges, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to toss and coat everything evenly, making sure all the veggies are well-seasoned.
- Arrange on Pan: Spread the seasoned vegetable mixture in a single layer on a large, unlined baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure the vegetables roast rather than steam. Use two pans if necessary.
- Roast and Stir: Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then remove the pan and stir the vegetables to promote even cooking and browning.
- Continue Roasting: Return the vegetables to the oven and roast for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until tender and caramelized on the edges.
- Add Feta and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the roasted vegetables with crumbled feta cheese so it slightly melts from the residual heat. Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for added brightness.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can omit the feta cheese to keep the dish vegan.
- The garlic powder creates a more consistent flavor throughout the dish compared to fresh garlic.
- Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor impact.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the vegetables.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or dill after roasting for extra freshness.
