# Ingredients:
01 -
2 tbsp olive oil
02 -
1-2 big baking potatoes
03 -
1 tsp black pepper
04 -
200g block of feta cheese
05 -
1 head of garlic with the top sliced off
06 -
1 lemon, cut into four pieces
07 -
1 tsp dried oregano
08 -
1 tbsp honey
09 -
1/4 cup (20g) fresh basil leaves
10 -
1 tsp dried thyme
11 -
1 tsp salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on your oven and heat it up to 200C (390F).
02 -
Rinse the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and place them in your baking tray.
03 -
Sprinkle the potatoes with dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour 1 tbsp of olive oil on top and mix so everything is coated.
04 -
Place the feta block in the center of your tray, turning it in the spices before leaving it face up. Add the garlic and a couple of lemon quarters to the tray, then pour on the leftover olive oil.
05 -
Pop the tray into the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. Take out the garlic after about 35 minutes if it looks like it's getting too dark. The potatoes should turn golden and crunchy.
06 -
Push the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and crush them with a sharp knife.
07 -
Add the mashed garlic and squeeze the rest of the lemon over the potatoes. Toss in the fresh basil leaves, then carefully mix with the roasted feta.
08 -
Drizzle the honey over everything and sprinkle on the shredded basil. Time to dig in!
# Notes:
01 -
If your potatoes are still undercooked, take the feta out and leave the potatoes in the oven a bit longer. Keep an eye on the feta since it can turn chewy.
02 -
Cutting the potatoes into smaller cubes can make them cook more evenly.
