Ingredients:

1 green bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 orange bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 medium red onion, halved then thinly sliced
spices of your choice (I used 2 tsp za’atar blend, 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp Aleppo chili pepper)
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
6 large eggs
chopped fresh parsley, as garnish
1 roma tomato, diced

Directions:

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2:

Place sliced bell peppers (all colors) in a large mixing bowl. Add red onions. Season with kosher salt and pepper to your taste, 1 tsp za’atar or other preferred spice mix, 1 tsp cumin and 1 tsp Aleppo chili pepper (keep the remaining za’atar or other mix for later). Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Toss to coat.

Step 3:

Transfer the pepper and onion medley to a large sheet pan. Spread in one layer. Bake in the heated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 4:

Remove pan from oven briefly. Carefully make 6 “holes” or openings among the roasted veggies. Carefully crack each egg into a hole, keeping the yoke intact (it helps to crack the egg in a small dish to slide carefully into each hole.)

Step 5:

Return pan to oven and bake until the egg whites settle. Watch the yokes to see them turn to the doneness you like (anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes).

Step 6:

Remove from oven. Season eggs to your liking. Sprinkle remaining 1 tsp za’atar all over. Add parsley, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of feta. Serve immediately!

Tips and Notes:

Bell peppers of all colors have many nutrients. It’s important to eat the rainbow so you can get a variety of vitamins and minerals. Overall, they contain antioxidants, vitamin A, and Vitamin C.
