Whisk 4 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons garlic, ½ teaspoon each oregano and lemon zest and ¼ teaspoon each black pepper and crushed red pepper together in a medium bowl until combined. Drizzle the squash rounds with 2 tablespoons of the mixture.

Add 3 cups tomatoes and 4 ounces feta cubes to the bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil mixture; gently toss until well coated. Spread the tomato-feta mixture in an even layer around the squash. Roast until the squash is fork-tender and the tomatoes are wrinkled, 35 to 40 minutes.

Using a fork, shred the center of each squash round into long strands, creating a nest with about a ¼-inch border. Divide the roasted tomato-feta mixture among the squash nests (about ¼ cup each). Sprinkle the nests with ⅛ teaspoon salt; drizzle with 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (1½ teaspoons each) and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons basil.
