Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables before roasting.

If you don't have all the vegetables listed, feel free to substitute with other Mediterranean-friendly vegetables like artichoke hearts or sun-dried tomatoes.

The feta can be slightly browned on top for an even more decadent taste.
