This Healthy Baked Feta Potatoes recipe combines tender baby potatoes, juicy cherry tomatoes, and creamy baked feta cheese, seasoned with garlic and oregano. It’s an easy, flavorful, and nutritious dish perfect for a wholesome meal or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1.5 lbs (700g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy

  • 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese

Oils & Spices

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste (go easy as feta is salty)

Garnish

  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size. In a large baking dish, combine the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well coated.
  2. Add the Feta: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish, nestling it among the seasoned potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle a little olive oil over the feta to help it soften and bake beautifully.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Bake the dish for 35 to 40 minutes. About halfway through cooking, stir the potatoes gently to promote even roasting. The dish is ready when the potatoes turn golden and tender, the cherry tomatoes have burst, and the feta cheese is soft and slightly browned on top.
  4. Stir and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven. Stir the baked feta cheese into the roasted potatoes and tomatoes until it forms a creamy, tangy sauce that evenly coats all the ingredients. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve the dish warm, or let it cool for an easy, healthy meal prep option.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust salt carefully since feta cheese is already salty.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or parsley enhance flavor and presentation but are optional.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled chicken or a green salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
