Baked Feta and Mushroom Skewers
With Garlic Yogurt Dressing
After the oven-baked chicken skewer recipe, here comes the vegetarian version: feta and mushrooms. If you’re craving summery flavors but don’t feel like grilling outdoors, I’ve got good news for you. This recipe can easily be made indoors in the oven. It’s ready in just 30 minutes, and you’ll love the roasted feta paired with oregano-seasoned baked mushrooms. I served it with a garlic yogurt dressing, which you can make even more refreshing by adding a little freshly chopped mint. This dish is the ultimate summer adventure on a plate! A must-try for meat-free days or for vegetarians.

- Cut the feta cheese into large cubes.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This is where the skewers will go.
- Thread the skewers in the following order: mushroom, feta cheese, red onion, then repeat mushroom, feta cheese, red onion, and finish with a mushroom.Place the skewers in the oven and bake at 200°C (392°F) for 20-25 minutes.
- For the side dish, cook the bulgur in salted water until tender.
- Simply mix the ingredients for the dressing together and serve it alongside the skewers in a separate bowl.
