Roasted Root Vegetable Bake with Feta & Walnuts

Ingredients

  • 2 medium beets (red and/or golden), peeled and thinly sliced

  • 2 large sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 2 parsnips or large white potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • 1/2 cup walnut halves

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preparation

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. Lightly grease a rectangular glass baking dish with olive oil.

2. Arrange the Vegetables

  1. To achieve the look in the image, alternate slices of the different root vegetables (beets, sweet potatoes, and parsnips) in a shingled, upright pattern throughout the dish.

  2. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetables.

  3. Season generously with salt, pepper, and dried herbs.

3. First Roast

  1. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to help the vegetables soften without drying out.

  2. Bake for 30–35 minutes.

4. Add Toppings and Finish

  1. Remove the foil and check that the vegetables are tender.

  2. Sprinkle the crumbled feta and walnut halves over the center of the bake.

  3. Return to the oven, uncovered, for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is slightly soft and the walnuts are toasted and fragrant.

5. Serve

  1. Garnish with fresh herbs before bringing the dish to the table.

  2. This dish is best served warm, as the saltiness of the feta perfectly balances the roasted sweetness of the beets and potatoes.
