Notes
- Mix and match your favorite veggies here – just make sure to slice them thinly so they cook evenly.
- To add a little heat, try sprinkling some red pepper flakes or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the veggie mixture before baking. You could also drizzle on some hot honey for a sweet-and-spicy flavor.
- You can easily turn this appetizer into a main course by serving it over pasta, rice, or quinoa. Just cook up your grain of choice while the feta and veggies are baking, then toss everything together for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
- You can prep your veggies and feta ahead of time. I recommend waiting to assemble and bake everything until just before serving.
