Steps

Prep and Roast

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-assisted). Slice the zucchini into half-moon shapes and halve the cherry tomatoes. On a large baking sheet, toss the zucchini and tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and slightly caramelized.

Assemble Salad

While the vegetables are roasting, thinly slice the red onion, crumble the feta cheese, and chop the fresh mint leaves. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the freshly squeezed lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper.

Serve

Add the roasted zucchini and tomatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Stir in the thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped mint leaves. Gently toss everything together to ensure it's well coated with the dressing. Serve immediately, or let it sit for a bit to allow the flavors to meld.

Extra Tips

► Try it with other fresh herbs like basil or parsley instead of mint for a different flavor profile.

► If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of chili flakes to the zucchini before roasting.

► The salad is best served at room temperature, but it's also delicious chilled, especially on hot summer days.
