Make this simple, flavorful sheet pan baked feta with broccolini and cherry tomatoes for an easy weeknight dinner or side dish. It requires minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (7-ounce) block good quality feta cheese
  • 1 pound broccolini, trimmed
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, half sliced thinly, half reserved for juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the trimmed broccolini and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Place the block of feta cheese on the empty half of the baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the feta. Sprinkle the minced garlic and the thin lemon slices over and around the cheese.
  4. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The feta should be soft and slightly browned, and the broccolini should be tender-crisp with slightly browned edges.
  5. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Squeeze the juice from the reserved lemon half over the entire pan.
  6. Serve immediately directly from the pan, scooping the creamy baked feta alongside the roasted vegetables. This is a great one pan feta dinner idea.

Notes

  • For extra crispy broccolini, you can briefly place the pan under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • This recipe works well with other sturdy vegetables like asparagus or small potatoes if you are looking for easy sheet pan dinners.
  • Serve with crusty bread or pita chips for dipping into the melted feta.
