Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a casserole dish.

  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.

  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  4. Stir in the diced bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.

  5. Add the cooked lentils to the skillet and mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

  6. Transfer the lentil and veggie mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.

  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted.

  8. Remove the foil and switch the oven to broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.

  9. Garnish the casserole with fresh parsley before serving.
