Roasted Balsamic Garlic Vegetables are beautiful, healthy and delicious. There are so many ways to enhance the flavor of vegetables and one way is to roast them with fresh, flavorful ingredients. These vegetables are roasted and flavored with balsamic vinegar, fresh garlic and fresh thyme!
You know…for a blogger that likes to bake, it seems kind of funny to share recipes for vegetables. But that’s who I am. I eat cookies and I eat veggies, too.
It’s the best of both worlds in my eyes.
Whether it’s Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, roasting vegetables is always an option. Roasting in season vegetables is a great way to eat healthy, but it’s also just really good. When in season, fresh vegetables are roasted, it brings out their natural flavor. Seasoning is also important and fresh herbs and garlic are such a simple way to take a vegetable recipe to the next level.
Seriously though… how gorgeous? I like to serve a side dish like this with chicken, steak, a roast, or even on a piece of buttery toasted bread.
These could also be tossed with pasta – that would be delicious.
I originally found this idea/recipe from a polenta dish I recently made. It was very good. So good that I had to share the vegetable portion of the recipe.
Fall is around the corner and I love roasting vegetables in the Fall…not sure why but perhaps it’s the butternut squash – I love it. Here are a few recipes I already have on my blog for roasting vegetables that I think you will also enjoy.
