🥔 Roasted Potatoes with Baked Feta and Garlic

✅ Ingredients:

• 1–2 large baking potatoes, washed and cubed

• 7 oz (200 g) block of feta cheese

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 head of garlic, top sliced off (leave cloves in skin)

• 1 lemon, quartered

• 1 tablespoon honey

• ¼ cup (20 g) fresh basil, chopped (or parsley for variation)

🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
   Line a baking sheet or roasting dish with parchment paper.

2. Prep the potatoes:
   Toss cubed potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on one side of the baking dish.

3. Add garlic & lemon:
   Place the garlic head (cut-side up) and lemon wedges in the dish with the potatoes.

4. Place the feta:
   Put the whole block of feta cheese in the center or on the other side of the pan. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and a light sprinkle of oregano.

5. Roast:
   Roast in the oven for 35–40 minutes, or until potatoes are golden and crispy, and feta is soft and lightly browned.

6. Finishing touch:
   Once out of the oven, drizzle the roasted feta with honey while warm for a sweet-savory balance.

7. Serve:
   Squeeze roasted lemon over everything, mash the garlic cloves out of their skins and mix into the feta or potatoes if desired.

8. Garnish:
   Sprinkle chopped fresh basil or herbs of choice over the top and serve warm!
