Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Sheet Pan:

  • 12 ounces small Yukon gold or red potatoes (1 to 2 inches across), quartered
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/2″ thick half moons
  • 8 ounces cherry tomatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can lentils, rinsed and drained well
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (1 cup)

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position and heat the oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, the cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Arrange cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet and cover tightly with foil. Roast 18 to 22 minutes, until the potatoes are nearly tender and starting to brown underneath.
  3. Remove the foil and stir the potatoes.
  4. In the same bowl, toss the zucchini, tomatoes, lentils, the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Scatter evenly over the potatoes, then sprinkle the feta over the top.
  5. Roast 15 to 18 minutes, until the tomatoes blister, the feta softens and browns in spots, and the squash is tender.
  6. While the vegetables are roasting, whisk together the mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, and salt until mixed. 
  7. Once the vegetables are done roasting, let the pan sit 5 minutes, then drizzle with the parsley dressing. Serve the rest on the side.
