Smoky Roasted Veg Marinated Feta Lime Recipes

SMOKY ROASTED VEG, MARINATED FETA & LIME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Break the cauliflower into florets. Trim then chop the thick stem into small chunks and keep any leaves. Halve the squash lengthways, scrape out and keep the seeds, then cut the flesh into 5mm half moons. Put the veg in a roasting tin with 2 tbsp oil, the spices and some seasoning, then rub with your hands to coat. Roast for 45 mins, turning the veg a few times, until golden and tender. Add the leaves (large ones shredded) halfway through.
• For the feta, pour the oil into a pan, add the chilli, garlic, rosemary and some pepper and heat for 5 mins. Put the feta in a dish, and pour the oil and aromatics over it. Leave at room temperature while you finish cooking, basting regularly so it soaks up the oil.
• Rinse the squash seeds in a sieve, shake off as much water as you can, then toss with 1 tsp oil in a roasting tin.
• Take out the veg and reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roast the seeds for 5 mins, splash with soy, then cook until dark and crisp, about 5 mins more.
• Put the veg on a platter and douse with lime juice. Sit the feta on top, spoon the oil around and sprinkle with the seeds. Serve with crusty bread or flatbreads.

MARINATED FETA THREE WAYS

Steps:

• For each of the above combinations, place all ingredients except for the feta in a small saucepan and gently heat over medium low just until tiny bubbles begin to form, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Once the infused olive oil is cool, transfer half of the aromatics from the saucepan to a 16-ounce Mason jar followed by half of the feta. Repeat layering and then carefully pour the infused olive oil into the jar. Gently press the feta down if needed to ensure it is fully submerged and seal the jar with its lid (see Cook's Note). Place the jar in the refrigerator and allow the feta to marinate for at least 12 hours and up to 5 days.
• Remove the jar from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the solidified olive oil to liquify.

MARINATED FETA WITH ROASTED LEMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss lemon slices and 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; roast until caramelized and lightly charred in a few spots, 10-12 minutes; let cool.
• Combine lemon slices, feta, chiles, bay leaves, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 cup oil in a small dish; season with pepper. Cover; chill 12 hours.
• Feta can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.

MEDLEY OF OVEN ROASTED VEGGIES WITH LIME JUICE AND FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Wash, clean and cut veggies into long finger-thin pieces (like french-fries). Make sure to separate kohlrabi and carrots from the other veggies as they need to bake longer.
• Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
• Mix lime/lemon juice, oil, cinnamon,salt and sugar.
• Spread carrots and kohlrabi pieces on a baking sheet. Pour some of the marinade on top and make sure to coat well. Bake for 5 minutes.
• Add rest of the veggies and coat with remaining marinade.
• Bake for 10 more minutes and then crumble the feta cheese over the veggies.
• Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
• Serve with crusty bread or enjoy as is. :).

MARINATED VEGETABLES WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. Brush the outside of peppers lightly with a little olive oil and place, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until well blackened. When cool, remove and discard skins; slice peppers into 2-inch strips. (You can also blacken peppers over a gas flame, holding with tongs and rotating.).
• Combine peppers, remaining olive oil, feta, and olives in a large bowl. Toss gently to coat completely. Add onion, garlic, vinegar, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste; toss again. Pour lemon juice over mixture. Refrigerate at least 3 hours.

MARINATED ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients except for the vegetables in a large mixing bowl to make the marinade. Pour in the vegetables and stir them around so that they get initially coated with marinade.
• Marinate the vegetables in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, stirring once or twice.
• Place the vegetables, with all the marinade, in an 9" x 13" (or larger) casserole dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake on the middle rack in a pre-heated oven at 375-degrees F. for 45 minutes.
• Serve hot.
• TIP: Sometimes the potatoes and carrots I use in this recipe are a little flaccid -- so, to fix that problem, all I do is soak them in really cold water (after they're peeled) for about 2 hours before marinating and they crisp right up!

WHIPPED FETA DIP WITH MARINATED TOMATOES RECIPE BY TASTY

• Spread the Simple Truth™ Grape Tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet and toss with the olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Roast the tomatoes for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly charred and softened.
