2 medium tomatoes, sliced
1 cup red onion, sliced
1/4 pound broccoli florets cut in half (about 1 1/2 cups)

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with olive oil spray. Wash and do not peel potatoes. Cut potatoes into slices and then cut the slices into quarters. Place in a bowl and microwave on high for one minute. Place potatoes on the sheet pan. Place the tomatoes, onion, broccoli and feta cheese slices on the sheet pan in rows. Spray with olive oil spray. Mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano and garlic together. Spoon sauce over the vegetables and cheese. Place sheet pan in the oven for 15 minutes. Divide between two dinner plates and serve.
