Ingredients
1–2 large baking potatoes, washed and cubed
7 oz (200g) block of feta cheese
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 whole garlic head, top sliced off
1 lemon, quartered
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup (20g) fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place cubed potatoes on a baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Nestle the block of feta in the center. Add the garlic head and lemon wedges around it. Drizzle remaining olive oil over everything.
Roast for 35–40 minutes, until potatoes are golden and garlic is soft.
Remove from oven. Squeeze roasted garlic from the bulb and mix gently into the potatoes. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chopped basil.
Serve warm as a side or a light main dish.
Notes
Savory, herby, and just a touch sweet — this is comfort food with Mediterranean flair.
