No-Oil Vegan Baked Potatoes with Zucchini & Mint [Cretan Boureki]
Meal-prep is one of my go-to strategies to make sure I get enough healthy and filling meals in my diet over the course of the week.
I like eating vegetarian for most days of the week and this Greek dish is a go-to that is on rotation probably once every 3 weeks.
It’s a vegetarian side dish made with potatoes, zucchini, and loaded with fresh minced mint, the Cretan Boureki takes barely ten minutes in prep time and lasts a good 2-3 days when stored in the fridge. This recipe is lower in calories than how people would usually make it (because of no-oil) and makes for a great way to incorporate veggies into your diet!
I’ll often make it on a Sunday night so I can have some on Monday and Tuesday.
You can add cheese if you want to make it vegetarian, or skip it if you want to keep it vegan. The total calories in this recipe do not include feta cheese and the recipe tastes just as good without it!

Ingredients
- 10 medium-size potatoes, peeled, sliced thick
- 6 medium zucchini, thin slices
- 1 (unit) minced mint
- 1 cup water/broth
- 2 tbsp light feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Grab a big baking tray and line the pan with parchment paper.
- Arrange the sliced potatoes in the bottom layer and top with zucchini slices.
- Add mint to the veggies and season with salt and pepper. Use your hands and mix the veggies with the seasoning.
- Add the water/broth to the tray. This helps steam the veggies before roasting them!
- Top it with light crumbled feta cheese (optional.)
- Cook the Boureki for 50 minutes in an oven preheated to 400 F. Serve hot!
It’s a great pair-up with a fresh salad, or some grilled salmon, and is a cheat’s way of making two days worth of meals in just one go! Are you going to try to add the Boureki to your meal prep for an extra serving of herby roasted veggies?
