Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and olives.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetables onto a large sheet pan in a single layer.
Roast for 15 minutes, stir the vegetables, then roast another 10–15 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with feta cheese.
Serve warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.

Avoid overcrowding the pan so the vegetables roast instead of steam.

Use two sheet pans if doubling the recipe.

Fresh vegetables work best for caramelization and texture.

Leftovers are delicious in wraps, salads, grain bowls, or omelets.
