  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 lbs potatoes (peeled and cut into small cubes, about 1 kilogram)
  • 1 red capsicum (bell pepper, cut into cubes)

Seasoning & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Juice of ¼ lemon (plus an extra drizzle at the end)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Cheese & Garnish

  • 2 oz feta cheese (smooth or Greek, about 60 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the potatoes and peppers to a crispy golden finish.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes and red bell peppers with 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the juice of ¼ lemon. This helps to season and lightly coat the vegetables before roasting.
  3. Prepare Baking Tray: Grease a large, flat sheet pan or baking tray with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  4. Roast Initial Stage: Spread the potatoes and peppers evenly on the tray and roast on the middle oven rack for 25 minutes, allowing them to start softening and browning.
  5. Season with Spices: In the meantime, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, cinnamon, and ground pepper. After the initial roasting, remove the tray and sprinkle this spice mix evenly over the potatoes and peppers. Use a spatula to gently stir and coat them with the spices for enhanced flavor.
  6. Roast Final Stage: Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes develop a golden, crispy edge while remaining soft inside.
  7. Finish and Garnish: After roasting, drizzle the potatoes and peppers with another splash of fresh lemon juice. Top with crumbled feta cheese and sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish for freshness and color. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, feel free to add more lemon juice according to taste at the end.
  • You can substitute red capsicum with other colored bell peppers for variation.
  • Using peeled and evenly cubed potatoes ensures uniform cooking and crispiness.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as a vegetarian main when served with a side salad.
  • For a gluten-free meal, verify that all seasonings and feta cheese are certified gluten-free.
