This side dish is packed with flavor and super healthy. It’s light and simple to make. These roasted vegetables go perfectly with pasta, chicken and mostly everything. It’s one of my favorite vegetarian dishes and I pretty much bring these to every gathering I go to to make sure there is a healthy dish I can eat. And everyone loves balsamic roasted vegetables anyway 🙂

Ingredients list states use of ‘yellow bell pepper’ vs cooking instructions state use of ‘red bell pepper’.
Got this cooking in the oven now, will let you know how it turns out. Looked amazing raw, so I expect it will be just as amazing cooked. =)
I hope you like them Donna!!
Directions call for asparagus, which isn’t listed in the ingredients. Zucchini, cauliflower, and tomatoes aren’t mentioned in directions. Printing for a taste test some day, though. 🙂
OOOOPS Sherwood, I just corrected that. Thank you for noticing! I hope you love these roasted vegetables as much as I do 🙂
Do the tomatoes and zucchini go in some other time?
Yes Lisa, I put them all in at once! Thanks for stopping by!
