Ingredients

Preparation Method


Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, prepare a large baking sheet by either lining it with a silicone baking mat or greasing it with a bit of olive oil.

Now, bring all your washed and chopped vegetables into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated. Transfer these vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly.

Pop this into your preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. You're looking for the vegetables to be tender and slightly charred around the edges. While the veggies are roasting, this is the perfect time to prepare the balsamic glaze.

For the glaze, combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Stir everything together and let it simmer over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. You'll know it's ready when it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.

Once your vegetables are nicely roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over them while they're still hot. Toss them gently to ensure that every piece is coated in the glaze.

Tips and Conclusion


For an extra layer of flavor, garnish your Balsamic Glazed Roasted Vegetables with some fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. This will add a fresh, herbaceous note and a savory bite to your dish. As a side dish, this recipe pairs well with grilled chicken or steak. It can also be a hearty vegetarian main dish when served over cooked quinoa or rice.


Preparing Balsamic Glazed Roasted Vegetables is less about cooking and more about celebrating the bounty of nature. The joy of roasting fresh vegetables, the aroma of the sweet balsamic glaze, and the final delight of savoring the dish make this experience truly satisfying.
