  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting, which helps in caramelizing the vegetables.
  2. On a large baking sheet, toss the cherry tomatoes and broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Tip: Spread them in a single layer to avoid steaming and ensure they roast nicely.

  4. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a serving bowl. Tip: Letting it cool for a few minutes prevents the feta from melting too quickly upon contact.
