Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 medium eggplant cut into 1-inch cubes, 2 medium zucchini sliced into 1/2-inch rounds, 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch strips, and 1 medium red onion cut into wedges.
  2. Step 2: Drizzle the vegetables with 3 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle 2 tbsp za’atar seasoning, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
  3. Step 3: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until edges are caramelized and vegetables are tender.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish. Immediately sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese over the hot vegetables, followed by 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for a bright finish.
