First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).Lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil.

Transfer everything into the prepared baking dish.Spread the vegetables into an even layer.Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.Bake for approximately 35–40 minutes.This allows the potatoes to soften while absorbing the tomato flavors. Remove the foil carefully.Continue baking for another 20–25 minutes.The vegetables should become tender and golden around the edges.If necessary, bake for several additional minutes for deeper browning. Remove the dish from the oven.Allow it to rest for approximately 10 minutes.Sprinkle fresh parsley and optional feta over the vegetables.Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
