Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Halve the olives and dice the red pepper.
- Cut the feta cheese into a block if it isn’t already in that form.
- In a small oven-safe baking dish, place the block of feta cheese in the center.
- Arrange the halved olives and diced red pepper around the feta.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the feta, olives, and red pepper.
- Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried parsley, and black pepper evenly over the top.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the feta is soft and lightly browned on top.
- While the feta mixture is roasting, cut the pita breads into wedges.
- If you like your pita warm and crispy, you can place the wedges on a separate baking sheet and toast them in the oven for the last 5-7 minutes of the roasting time, until they are slightly crisp and warm.
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven.
- Transfer the roasted feta with olives and red peppers to a serving plate or keep it in the baking dish.
- Serve immediately with the warm pita wedges on the side.
Tips:
- Use high-quality feta cheese to enhance the flavor of the dish.
- For an added burst of flavor, marinate the olives in some garlic and lemon juice before adding them to the recipe.
- Toast the pita bread just before serving to keep it warm and crunchy.
- Feel free to add other Mediterranean ingredients like cherry tomatoes, artichokes, or capers for more variety.
- Always keep an eye on the feta while it's roasting to avoid overcooking and drying it out.
