Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 large eggplant
• 2 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 100 grams crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Slice the zucchini and eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. Cut the bell peppers into 1-inch squares. Slice the red onion into thick wedges. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 6

Transfer the vegetables onto a large baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.

Step 9

Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the feta is just beginning to melt.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a main dish or as a side with crusty bread or a grain like couscous or quinoa.
