then add your broccoli (cut into florets) on one side of the dish
on the other side, add thinly sliced and peeled potatoes (not more than 1/2 – 1 as we want this to be on the healthier side).
then add 8-10 (or more) garlic cloves
drizzle olive oil (ensure your broccoli and potatoes are coated well so they cook properly)
sprinkle salt, chilli flakes and black pepper powder to taste (feta as a cheese is quite salty, so adjust the salt accordingly)
bake for 30 minutes at 200*C
