Introduction

This Greek feta traybake is a vibrant, flavorful dish perfect for a simple dinner or a shared lunch. Combining crunchy pitta chips with roasted vegetables, salty feta, and tangy lemon, it brings together classic Mediterranean flavors in one easy traybake.

The image shows a metal tray filled with colorful roasted vegetables and sliced pita chips. The dish has several layers: the bottom layer is a mix of green zucchini and sliced onions with a reddish-purple color, spread out evenly. On top of that, bright red cherry tomatoes are still on their vine, placed in the center. Scattered around the tomatoes are golden-brown roasted chickpeas and small pieces of feta cheese, creamy white and slightly toasted. At the right side of the tray, triangular pita chips with a dusting of spices add a crunchy texture. A metal spoon rests on the tray's edge. The tray sits on a white marbled surface with a white cloth draped nearby. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 pitta breads
3 tsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 red onion, cut into thin wedges
400g can butter beans, drained and rinsed
2 courgettes, halved lengthways and sliced on an angle
100g cherry tomatoes on the vine
20g Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
100g feta, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan)/gas mark 7. Cut or tear the pitta breads into chunks or triangles and spread them out on a large baking tray. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle half the dried oregano along with some black pepper. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Arrange the pitta pieces in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes until golden and crunchy.
Step 2: Remove the pitta chips from the tray and set aside. Add the red onion wedges, butter beans, and sliced courgettes to the tray. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sprinkle over the remaining oregano. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Add the cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives to the tray, distributing evenly. Scatter the feta chunks over the top. Return the tray to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the feta starts to turn golden.
Step 4: Scatter the reserved pitta chips over or around the side of the tray. Serve with lemon wedges squeezed over just before eating. Half the traybake can be served immediately, and the rest left to cool for leftovers.

Tips & Variations

For a delicious leftover option, fill toasted and halved pitta breads with the remaining roasted vegetables, feta, and beans. Top with a dollop of hummus or yogurt and serve with fresh salad leaves for a quick, satisfying lunch.

Storage

Store any leftover traybake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through. The pitta chips may soften after storage, so adding fresh pitta or serving with bread is a good idea if you want to keep some crunch.
