Oven-Baked Greek Veggie with Thyme
![How To Make Air Fryer Low- Calorie Greek Veggie With Thyme 5 Greek Veggie With Thyme Recipe](https://foodandmeal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/17.2-1.jpg)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Feta cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, halved baby potatoes, red onion wedges, bell peppers, and zucchini.
- Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the vegetables, and add the minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves. Toss the vegetables to coat them evenly with the oil, thyme, and garlic.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste. Be mindful not to oversalt, as feta cheese (if used) can also add saltiness.
- Transfer the seasoned veggies to a baking sheet or a baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
- Place the baking sheet or dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
- Once the veggies are done, remove them from the oven.
- If you desire, crumble some feta cheese over the hot veggies for an extra layer of flavor. The heat from the roasted veggies will slightly melt the feta.
- Serve your oven-baked Greek Veggie with Thyme as a side dish or a vegetarian main course, garnished with fresh thyme sprigs and an additional drizzle of olive oil if you like.
Tips for making Greek Veggie with Thyme

Cooking Tips
- Fresh Thyme Matters: Opt for fresh thyme over dried for a burst of flavor. If you can, use sprigs of fresh thyme, as they infuse the vegetables with aromatic goodness.
- Cut Evenly: To ensure even cooking, try to cut your veggies into similar sizes. Smaller pieces will roast faster, while larger ones may remain undercooked.
- The Olive Oil Touch: High-quality extra-virgin olive oil is key. It elevates the overall taste. Don’t be stingy; a generous drizzle adds richness.
- Parchment Paper or a Good Dish: For easy cleanup, use parchment paper on your baking sheet. It prevents sticking and makes the dish a breeze to clean.
- Roasting Time: Keep an eye on the oven. Roasting times may vary slightly depending on your oven’s accuracy. You’re looking for that beautiful caramelization, so adjust if needed.
Serving Suggestions

- Feta Finale: Top your Greek Veggie with crumbled feta cheese just before serving. It adds a creamy, salty contrast to the roasted veggies.
- Warm Pita Bread: Serve with warm, fresh pita bread for a Mediterranean twist. Use the pita to scoop up the veggies and feta for a satisfying meal.
- Tzatziki Dip: A side of tzatziki – a yogurt-based dip with cucumbers and garlic – complements the dish with a cool, tangy contrast.
- Herb-Infused Couscous: Pair with a side of couscous cooked with fresh herbs like mint and parsley. It makes for a hearty, well-rounded meal.
- Lemon and Olives: A squeeze of lemon juice and a scattering of Kalamata olives can take this dish to the next level. The citrus brightens the flavors, and the olives add a briny, savory note.
