Ingredients

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: fresh thyme, rosemary, or parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

3. Toss Vegetables:
Place all chopped vegetables in a large bowl. Pour the balsamic glaze over them and toss to coat evenly.

4. Roast:

5. Serve:
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.

Tips for Perfect Balsamic Glazed Vegetables

  • Even roasting: Cut vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Caramelization: High oven temperature helps the balsamic glaze caramelize for that rich flavor.
  • Flavor balance: Adjust honey or balsamic vinegar to taste — more honey for sweetness, more balsamic for tang.
  • Meal prep: Roast extra and store in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheats well.

Variations

  • Winter Veggie Roast: Add carrots, parsnips, and Brussels sprouts.
  • Mediterranean Twist: Sprinkle with feta cheese and olives before serving.
  • Spicy Glazed Veggies: Add 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes to the glaze for heat.

Serving Ideas

  • Perfect side for roasted chicken, grilled meats, or pasta dishes
  • Great addition to grain bowls, salads, or wraps
  • Ideal for holiday spreads or weeknight dinners
