Yia Yia's Greek, Roasted Banana Peppers!




I mean really, what's not to love! These and a loaf of crusty bread for dipping into the oil left in the dish. You can't go wrong!
Ingredients:
15 banana peppers
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Greek oregano)
3 ounces feta cheese crumbled
Preheat oven to 350 degrees


This is some of my Greek oregano, which is really my favorite. It has a less green taste and more of the oregano flavor.


Rinse the peppers in cold water and dry. 
Trim the end of the peppers, slice them in half and remove the seeds.


Thanks to JD's mom and Mr. M. for the gorgeous peppers they've provided us with all summer!


Spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray. Place the peppers halves inside and drizzle the olive oil over the tops of the peppers.


Sprinkle the salt, pepper and oregano over the peppers.


Add the feta cheese on top. Bake uncovered for thirty minutes or until the peppers are tender.


These are really so good. In case you want to know who Yia Yia is, she's my best friend's Greek mother in law. I've known Yia Yia for at least twenty five years and I have been so fortunate to partake of many of her dishes. Yes 'um Yia Yia rocks the kitchen!
