Step 1
Pat octopus dry. Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper; spread on a sheet pan and roast at 425°F for 12 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, rub octopus, zucchini, peaches, and peppers with remaining oil and oregano; season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Remove potatoes from oven and arrange octopus, zucchini, peaches, and peppers around them on the pan.
Step 4
Return to oven and roast for 10–12 minutes until octopus edges char, vegetables soften, and peaches caramelize slightly.
Step 5
Halve the lemons. Squeeze juice over the plated octopus and vegetables; char the lemon halves in a hot skillet, 2 min per side.
Step 6
Serve immediately with charred lemon halves on the side for extra brightness.
