Instructions

Heat oven to 375°F. On a half sheet pan (rimmed baking sheet), toss tomatoes, potatoes, bell peppers and onions with olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper (if using). Arrange in a single layer on pan and roast on center rack of oven, stirring once or twice, 35 to 40 minutes until veggies are tender and beginning to brown.
Spoon 1 cup marinara sauce evenly over roasted veggies in pan. Using the back of a wooden spoon, make 8 indents into sauce-veggie mixture, evenly spaced on sheet pan. Crack a whole egg into each indent. Gently spoon remaining 1 cup marinara sauce on and around eggs and veggies, then sprinkle with feta cheese.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes more until egg whites are set. Sprinkle with parsley or cilantro, and more salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

*My favorite results came from leaving one pint of grape tomatoes whole -- to burst slightly and then shrivel as they roasted on the sheet pan -- and cut each tomato from the second pint in half, so their juices would mingle with the veggies and marinara sauce as everything baked. If you find this tedious, feel free to leave both pints of tomatoes whole.
Use a high-quality marinara sauce for this recipe, since it lends so much of the flavor to the overall dish. This brand is my favorite.
