Garlic Roasted Vegetables with Whipped Feta
As easy as this dish is, its equally as delicious. We really enjoyed the flavors and said multiple times that we need to make this again. You’re eating the rainbow and loving it. The whipped feta under the veggies is really the best part. You can also customize the veggies too – add in brussels sprouts, mushrooms, zucchini, etc.
Yes, I stated the whipped feta is the best part, but you can also make this same dish and leave out the feta cheese. Instead make a lemon “Lazy Tzatziki” as I like to call it with all Greek yogurt, lemon (or red wine vinegar), herbs and spices. It still will be incredible.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Gather all of your prepped chopped veggies onto the baking sheet.

Roast for another 20 minutes.

Your Instagram says mayo but your recipe does not include mayo? Which is it? Thank you.
Hi Sue, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Its mayo or Greek yogurt. I meant to include that sorry for the confusion!
Could the feta be substituted for another type of cheese besides feta or goat cheese? Wondering if ricotta would work?
Hi Heather , i think ricotta is a great idea or you can do a Greek yogurt sauce too instead.
I made this for dinner last night, subbing out misting instead of tossing in oil and used some homemade low cal ranch instead of mayo. Hubby said I could make that anytime. Positively sinful. Ty ty ty!
Hi Joyce, glad you tried it and both enjoyed the dish! Thanks for the feedback!
can you substitute anything for the cream cheese?
Hi Al, yes, creme fraiche is the best, or ricotta cheese or sour cream or more greek yogurt! Enjoy
Absolutely delicious.
Thank you for trying it out! Cheers!

HI Ribbon, its a dried herb blend I get – you can sub in anything dried herb like dried oregano, dried parsley etc. I will link the Italian herb blend I use below,,,

This was so delicious! I subsituted feta with creme fresche since that’s all I had, it was so tasty! My new favorite way to eat vegetables!
Hi Cynthia, OHHHH i must try this with the creme fresche – great idea!!!!
Can you make the whipped feta ahead of time and just bring to room temp or warm when it’s time to serve?
HI Brittany, serve the whipped feta cold or room temp. dont heat it up though. Enjoy!
I came here for the wipped feta! ty
Hi Ana, i dont blame you lol
Super delicious and easy. The feta mixture was not as smooth as I imagined but still a perfect combo with the veggies. The dressing for the vegetables- so robust and full of flavor. Very good recipe. I will make it again and again.
Hi Liz, glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for the kind feedback on it!
ουαου δεν μπορώ να περιγράψω την ομορφιά αυτού του πιάτου δεν μπορώ να σταματήσω Στέλλα μπράβο σου
I could not get my feta to whip 😫
I tried the mini processor, blender, ended up with hand mixer. had to add more yogurt, olive oil, and a touch of lemon juice. It still came out delicious but not as smooth as creamy as expected. what could be the issue ?
Hi Aileen, I’m not sure exactly – maybe next time take the feta out 30 minutes prior to blending/?
Also make sure you’re using good quality feta. I’m sorry it wasnt cooperating!
Are the nutrition numbers per serving or for the whole dish?
How many servings?
So sorry. I forgot my manners. 😱
I meant to say ‘’please”
I’m diabetic and need to work out how many carbs per portion.
I wouldn’t use potatoes so I guess that would cut down carbs. Also ( sadly😪) would have to omit the honey. But this looks yummy. I’ll be trying it for dinner tomorrow. Love roasted veg.
Thank you. 😍
Hi,
I’m going to cook tonight or tomorrow and wondering how long does the whipped feta last in the fridge after mixing together? And i guess I would serve this part cold if I was to store then use in the next few days?
It looks super yummy and was just thinking of prepping it for a couple of meals ahead.
Thanks
