Ingredients

  • 2 yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced small
  • 1 yellow onion, cut into wedges
  • ¼ cup olive oil, divided
  • 2 broccoli crowns, without stalk, about 1 pound, cut into florets
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 cups vegetable broth, chicken broth or bone broth
  • 1 (5-ounce) container spinach (5 cups packed)
  • 1 tablespoon Djon mustard
  • 1 (8-ounce) block feta cheese
  • ¼ cup loosely packed fresh dill

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 450ºF with racks set in upper middle and lower middle positions.
  • Toss 2 peeled and diced potatoes potatoes and 1 onion cut into wedges with 2 tablespoon oil and ½ teaspoon salt on a sheet pan. Trim top ¼-inch off top of garlic head; place garlic, cut side down, on sheet pan.
  • Transfer to upper-middle rack of oven and roast 20 minutes.
  • Remove sheet pan from oven and clear a small space in center of sheet. Break 1 ounce of feta off of block and set aside for garnish. Place remaining 7-ounce block of feta in center of sheet pan. Return to upper middle rack and roast until potatoes are tender and onions and feta start to brown, 20 minutes
  • On a second sheet pan, toss 2 heads of broccoli cut into florets with 2 tablespoons oil and ½ teaspoon salt. Arrange in an even layer then cover tightly with foil and place on lower-middle rack. Roast until tender, about 20 minutes (while potatoes roast as well).
  • Add 5 ounces spinach, 4 cups broth, 1 tablespoon Dijon and ¼ cup dill to a high-powered blender. Blend on high until smooth.
  • Remove roasted vegetables from oven and allow to cool slightly, just until cool enough to handle. Scrape vegetables and feta into blender then squeeze roasted garlic cloves into blender; blend on high until smooth (depending on size of blender, you may need to do this in batches). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Pour into serving bowls and crumble reserved feta over top.
