Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 340kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (drizzle over tomatoes)
- 1 8-oz block feta cheese drained
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (drizzle over feta cheese)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3 medium/large zucchini (about 6 cups of zoodles)
- 1/3 c pesto
- fresh chopped basil optional
- grated parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
- Place the tomatoes in a large oven-safe baking dish. Drizzle 1/3 cup olive oil over tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Toss until well combined.
- Place the feta block in the center, moving the tomatoes out of the center, surrounding the feta block. Drizzle the top of the feta with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until the cherry tomatoes burst, and the feta cheese is soft.
- When the tomatoes and feta have about 10 mins left of bake time, quickly sauté 6 cups of zucchini noodles, for 2-3 mins (you want them to be crisp and not too soft) in a non stick pan with a little cooking spray. Then set to aside in a strainer. (This will help remove excess liquids from the zucchini).
- When the 35 mins are up, carefully remove the feta and tomatoes from the oven and use a spoon or spatula to combine the melted feta and tomatoes. (Be sure to crush any tomatoes that don't break apart when stirring)
- Next, add in pesto and stir until well combined.
- Lastly, toss in the zoodles and stir one more time. Finish with fresh basil, grated parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.
Notes
This recipe serves 6 people. One serving is approximately 1 cup, give or take, depending on the size of the zucchini.
