Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams asparagus
- 2 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and cut the spears into 5 cm (2-inch) pieces. Set aside.
Slice the bell peppers into thin strips about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) wide. Discard the seeds and stems.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the asparagus and bell pepper strips with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
While the vegetables are still warm, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
Finish by adding lemon zest and a drizzle of lemon juice for a bright, zesty flavor.
Optional: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra freshness.
Serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a larger meal. Enjoy!
