Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 400°F oven for 10-12 minutes to restore crispness. Freezes well for up to 2 months.

FAQs

How do I get them extra crispy? Use starchy potatoes and don’t overcrowd the pan for better air circulation.
Can I use dried lemon zest? Fresh is best, but 1-2 teaspoons dried zest works as a substitute.
Vegan option? Skip the feta or use plant-based feta alternative.

These Greek Feta Roast Potatoes bring sunny Mediterranean flavor to any meal with their crispy texture and herby brightness. A crowd-pleasing side that’s simple yet impressive. Explore more veggie sides at dishfoody.com.
