Description
Rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor, Healthy Baked Feta Potatoes combine hearty potatoes with tangy feta cheese, fresh cherry tomatoes, and fragrant herbs for a delightful dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (700g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large baking dish, combine the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything well.
- Place the block of feta in the center of the dish, surrounded by the seasoned potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle a little olive oil on the feta.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through. The dish is ready when the potatoes are golden and tender, and the feta is soft and slightly browned.
- Once done, stir the feta into the mixture to create a creamy, tangy sauce. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
