Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g green asparagus
  • 2 large courgettes
  • 200g block of feta
  • Olive oil
  • 1 heaped teaspoon of dried oregano
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped mint
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
  • Big squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 200°C degrees.
  2. Using an oven-roasting tray, add the feta block to the middle of the tray and drizzle generously with olive oil.
  3. Trim asparagus. Cut courgettes in half, then each half into 6 wedges (lengthways).
  4. Place together in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper and toss around to coat evenly.
  5. Place asparagus and courgette around the feta and roast for 15 – 20 minutes or until vegetables are cooked through, slightly crisp and with colour (be careful not to over-cook or they will be very dry)
  6. Remove the tray from the oven. Break feta into small pieces and combine with the vegetables. Drizzle with more olive oil, and squeeze over lemon juice. Scatter evenly with chopped mint and toasted pine nuts.
