Balsamic Roasted Vegetables
Roasting vegetables is one of the best ways to maximize their natural flavors. It’s also my favorite way to eat them. All you need is a baking sheet, an oven, some olive oil and seasoning and you can transform your favorite veggies into a tray of warm, caramelized deliciousness. Roasting intensifies any sweetness that a vegetable naturally has, so Balsamic vinegar is a really good complement to roasted veggies. I chose the vegetables for this recipe based on personal favorites and also to have an array of colors, but you can certainly use other vegetables if you prefer. This recipe would make for a mouth-watering Thanksgiving side dish, but is really simple and delicious for any day of the year.

I was just thinking about doing roasted veggies to up my veggie intake and I wasnt quite sure where to start. You have amazing timing! I will be making it this week!
Oven roasting veggies is my favorite way to serve them. Love the addition of balsamic vinegar.
Nice addition of the balsamic vinegar. We usually roast all of our veggies this way but I never thought to add that!

Thank you but I wanted to know about your remedies with vinegar and etc.

This is perfect and simple! I was roasting my vegetables the other day and tried creating a balsamic reduction. Oy! Didn’t go over so well. Equal parts of olive oil and vinegar is easy to remember. Thanks for sharing 🙂 PS Your colorful choice of vegetables is gorg!!
Hope you love it! 🙂
I sprinkle a little dried rosemary on them before backing. Love this recipe!
I am surprised to see that you cooked zucchini and yellow squash for the same amount of time as carrots, broccoli and cauliflower… weren’t the squash mushy by the time those heartier veggies were done?
