Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups mixed bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup red onion, chopped

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Seasonings & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop your choice of vegetables into bite-sized pieces, aiming for even sizing so they roast uniformly. Toss them gently to start!
  2. Make the Balsamic Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar (natural), maple syrup (natural), minced garlic, and a pinch of natural gelling agent. Simmer on low heat until thickened into a luscious glaze, about 10 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
  3. Toss Vegetables with Olive Oil and Seasonings: Transfer chopped vegetables to a large bowl, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Roast the Vegetables: Spread the vegetables on a lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized on the edges. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting.
  5. Drizzle the Balsamic Glaze: Once roasted, transfer the vegetables to a serving dish and generously drizzle the balsamic glaze over the hot vegetables. Toss gently to ensure each bite is bursting with flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for the best texture and flavor after roasting.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow vegetables to caramelize properly.
  • Simmer the glaze slowly and stir often to achieve perfect thickness without burning.
  • Roast at a high temperature for caramelization but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Add fresh herbs right before roasting for aromatic notes without overpowering the vegetables.
