2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & black pepper, to taste
2–3 tbsp hot honey (adjust for spice preference)

Instructions
Preheat oven: Heat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare veggies: Spread zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
Roast: Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring once, until vegetables are tender and caramelized.
Add hot honey: Remove from oven and drizzle hot honey over the warm vegetables. Gently toss.
Assemble: Transfer to a serving board or platter. Sprinkle with feta, parsley, and optional toasted nuts.
Serve: Enjoy warm as a side, or pair with pita, hummus, or grains for a fuller meal.
Tips & Variations
Use eggplant, carrots, or mushrooms for variety.
Adjust spice by making your own hot honey (honey + chili flakes).
Swap feta for goat cheese, ricotta salata, or parmesan.
Nuts like pistachios or almonds also add crunch.
Make it vegan by omitting or substituting the cheese.
Serve with dips like hummus or tzatziki for more creaminess.
Add olives, chickpeas, or pita bread for a mezze-style board.
Q&A
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. Roast the veggies in advance and reheat before serving. Drizzle the hot honey just before plating to keep the flavor fresh.
Q: What can I serve this with?
It pairs well with grilled meats, grain salads, or as part of a mezze board with dips and bread.
Q: Can I control the heat level?
Absolutely. Use less hot honey for mild heat, or add extra chili flakes for more spice.
Q: How do I keep the veggies from getting soggy?
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer so they roast instead of steam.
