The tahini in the dressing is Ree's inspiration for including other ingredients that harmonize beautifully in Middle Eastern recipes: zaatar, pistachios, and pomegranate.

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small delicata squash, halved lengthwise, seeded and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick half-circles
2 cups cauliflower florets
3 small shallots, cut lengthwise into sixths
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons zaatar
Kosher salt
1/4 cup tahini
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons hot water
4 cups arugula
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
1/3 cup pistachios, shelled
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese (2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the squash, cauliflower, shallots and chickpeas on a half-sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with the zaatar and salt, then toss to coat well. Roast, turning once, until the veggies are tender and just starting to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While the veggies cook, make the dressing. Whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. While whisking, slowly drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the hot water at a time, until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt.
  • Remove the roasted veggies from the oven. Top with the arugula, pomegranate seeds, pistachios and goat cheese, then drizzle with the tahini dressing.

SHEET PAN BAKED FETA WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES



Sheet Pan Baked Feta with Summer Vegetables image

Think of this recipe as summer on a sheet pan. The warm grilled vegetables and bulgur wilt the escarole just enough to soften its flavor and texture. The balsamic reduction adds a final note of sweetness. If you are in a rush, you can use purchased balsamic reduction, but making your own takes only a few minutes. It's worth cooking up a big batch to keep on hand for drizzling on roasted or grilled vegetables, poultry, pork and fish fillets.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 sprig fresh rosemary plus 2 tablespoons leaves
1 tablespoon honey
Kernels from 4 ears sweet corn
8 baby bell peppers, stemmed, halved and seeded
1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch chunks
6 scallions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces feta, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slabs
1 cup fine bulgur
8 cups torn inner escarole leaves or baby spinach

Steps:

  • Place a rimmed baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Combine the vinegar, rosemary sprig and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until thick and syrupy and reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Remove and discard the rosemary sprig.
  • Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Scatter the corn, peppers, zucchini and scallions on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss. Nestle the slabs of feta in among the vegetables. Roast until the vegetables are tender and the feta is warmed through and softened, about 15 minutes.
  • While the feta and vegetables roast, combine 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir in the bulgur. Remove from the heat and cover. Let sit for 8 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • Once the vegetables are tender, turn on the broiler and move the baking sheet to the top rack of the oven. Broil until the cheese and vegetables are browned in places, about 2 minutes.
  • To serve, divide the escarole among 4 shallow bowls. Top with the warm bulgur, vegetables and feta. Drizzle with the balsamic reduction and serve.

SHEET PAN VEGETABLE DINNER WITH FETA



Sheet Pan Vegetable Dinner with Feta image

This sheet pan dinner recipe is super versatile - you can use most vegetables for it, depending on your preference. I chop them very coarsely to save time and the cook time can vary. We eat this as dinner with bread and salad but you can also serve it as a side. Leftovers also taste great cold.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup olive oil
2 small zucchini, sliced
2 small carrots, chopped
2 red bell peppers - cored, seeded, and cut into chunks
2 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
15 cherry tomatoes
15 black olives
4 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For this recipe, butternut squash or acorn squash are the best choices. They are both sweet and have a dense texture that holds up well when roasted.
  • Cut the squash into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not get as tender.
  • Toss the squash with olive oil and spices: This will help them brown and develop flavor in the oven. You can use any spices you like, but some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Roast the squash until it is tender: This will usually take about 20-25 minutes. You can check the squash for doneness by piercing it with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the squash is ready.
  • Let the squash cool slightly before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the feta cheese from melting.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine: You can add any other ingredients you like to this salad, such as arugula, spinach, or nuts.

Conclusion:

This sheet pan roasted squash and feta salad is a healthy and delicious side dish or main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. With its sweet and savory flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
