Ingredients (and substitutes)
These Greek Feta Bowls are packed with bright flavors, fresh veggies, and protein. And you can easily customize them!
Here’s what you’ll need (with simple swaps):
- Potatoes: Any potato works! I like yellow best. Cut them into big, bite-sized chunks. And keep the skins on—because they add great flavor.
- Chickpeas: Canned or home-cooked both work. Make sure to dry them well (after rinsing), so they get crispy in the oven.
- Pepperocini: Tangy, sour, and mildly spicy—they make a delicious and memorable sauce for these bowls! Don't skip it. Grocery stores usually stock pepperocini peppers (Peperoncino) by the pickles.
- Dill: Use fresh dill, because the flavor is superior. Some herbs—like rosemary and thyme—dry well. But dill loses a lot of flavor when dried.
- Feta: Buy a block, not crumbles. Break it into chunks with your hands or a knife. You want the feta to be in large (but bite sized) pieces, so they hold their shape in the oven.
- Smoked Paprika: Adds delicious flavor and a pretty color to the chickpeas. Use smoked sweet paprika (not smoked hot paprika). If you can't find it, substitute regular paprika.
- Tzatziki: Use store-bought or homemade. My cookbook has my go-to, classic tzatziki recipe—but this Vegan Tzatziki is also a hit!
- Rice (optional): This dish is filling on its own. But you can add cooked rice—especially if you want to stretch it into more meals. I've tried it with long grain white rice and brown.

Cooking tip: Roast potatoes with Dijon and oil! It adds savory flavor that's surprisingly subtle—most people never guess the secret. I use this technique in my popular Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes—and it's featured in this recipe too.
How to make Sheet Pan Greek Veggie Feta Bowls
This recipe has a handful of steps, but they're all designed to efficiently maximize flavor. While the oven roasts the veggies, chickpeas, and feta—you focus on the easy but impressive flavor boosters. The result is a vibrant, restaurant-worthy meal!
Here's how to make it:
1. Start roasting garlic and potatoes on a large sheet pan.
2. Scatter chickpeas on a second sheet pan, season and bake at the same time.
3. After 15 minutes, add the peppers and feta. Bake until everything's golden brown.
4. Meanwhile, whisk together the marinade and add the red onions. Let sit.
5. Scoop out the onions. Add roasted garlic, pepperocini, and dill to the marinade.
6. Assemble your bowls, with tzatziki, fresh veggies, and pepperocini dressing.

Tips
- Use large baking sheets: More space allows your veggies and chickpeas to roast—rather than steam. Half sheets (13 x 18-inches) are my go-to (these heavy-duty half sheets are amazing). If your pans are small, halve the recipe.
- Pepperocini packs flavor: Their bright, tangy flavor makes this sauce irresistible. Pepperocini peppers are a versatile pantry staple—try them next in Greek Salad, sandwiches, and pasta salad with roasted vegetables.
- Meal prep: This dish is great for meal prep! Store roasted components separate from the fresh toppings (like cucumbers and tomatoes) for easy reheating. Roasted chickpeas soften over time but they're still tasty.
- Vegan option: It's easy to veganize this dish. Just use Vegan Tzatziki and vegan feta. Plant-based feta varies by brand—but you'll likely want to add it at the end (without baking).

📖 Recipe
Sheet Pan Greek Veggie Feta Bowls
Ingredients
Roasted Veggies & Baked Feta
- 1 small head garlic
- 1 lb chopped yellow potatoes (1-inch/2.5cm chunks)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 12 ounces cubed feta (¾-inch/1.9 cm cubes, see note 1)
- 2 sliced bell peppers
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Crispy Chickpeas
- 2 (14 fl oz/398 ml) cans chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Marinated Onions & Pepperocini Sauce
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
- ¼ cup finely chopped pepperocini
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (more for serving)
For Serving
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 2 cups baby tomatoes
- 1 cup tzatziki (see note 1)
- cooked rice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat: Position oven racks in the upper- and lower-thirds of oven. Preheat oven to 425℉ (220℃).
- Start Roasted Veggies: Trim the top ¼-inch (0.6 cm) off 1 small head garlic, then put garlic on foil. Transfer it to a large parchment-lined baking sheet, along with 1 lb chopped yellow potatoes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil mostly over the potatoes—and a bit over the garlic. Wrap garlic tightly in foil. Add 1 tablespoon dijon mustard to the potatoes, toss to coat. Bake on the upper rack for 15 minutes.
- Crispy Chickpeas: Meanwhile, scatter 2 (14 fl oz/398 ml) cans chickpeas on a second parchment-lined baking sheet. Pat dry with a kitchen towel. Add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt. Toss to coat. Bake on the lower rack until crispy, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Finish Roasted Veggies: After 15 minutes, add 12 ounces cubed feta and 2 sliced bell peppers to the baking sheet of potatoes. Drizzle feta and peppers with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, toss to coat. Sprinkle everything (including potatoes) with ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Return to the upper rack and bake until golden brown, about another 25 minutes.
- Marinate Onions: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt. Scatter in 1 cup thinly sliced red onion, toss to coat. Let onions marinate while the veggies roast, at least 20 minutes.
- Pepperocini Dressing: Once the veggies are roasted, remove garlic from foil. Let cool slightly. Use a fork to scoop the onions out of the marinade—and transfer onions to a small bowl. (Keep as much of the marinade in the bowl as possible). Squeeze the roasted garlic into the marinade and use the fork to smash garlic into a paste. Stir in ¼ cup finely chopped pepperocini, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill.
- Serve: Divide roasted veggies, baked feta, crispy chickpeas, and marinated onions into bowls (with cooked rice , if using). Divide and top with 1 cup chopped cucumber, 2 cups baby tomatoes, and 1 cup tzatziki. Drizzle with the pepperocini sauce and garnish with more dill.
Notes
- Vegan option: Use vegan tzatziki and vegan feta. Vegan feta varies by brand, but you'll likely want to add that at the end (without baking).
- Storage tips: Store cooked components separate from fresh, to make reheating easier. The roasted chickpeas will soften over time, but they'll still be delicious! Enjoy leftovers within 3 days.

Family really enjoyed this, but the chickpeas were burnt to a crisp. I'll try 20 mins next time.
Bri Beaudoin says
Hi Natalia - So glad to hear your family enjoyed these Greek Veggie Feta Bowls! Sorry to hear about the chickpeas. Every oven's different and it sounds like yours might run a bit hot - so yes, a shorter bake time should work out better for you. Let me know how it goes!
