Notes

Always pat the feta dry before cooking to avoid sogginess. Use fresh herbs whenever possible—they make a huge difference in flavor. Don’t overcrowd the baking dish; spread the ingredients out for even roasting. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to keep the feta separate to maintain its crispiness. This dish can be served with crusty bread or fluffy rice, making it perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
