Balsamic Roasted Vegetables
Another month has passed and it’s time for another round of The Secret Recipe Club. I’m taking a break from posting pink food for just one day to bring you this awesome fall vegetable dish. For those of you who don’t know about Secret Recipe Club, you sign up to participate, then are assigned another blog. Then, everyone posts on the same day revealing the blog they were assigned.
This month, my blog assignment was A Vegan Obsession. I have to admit that I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to find anything I would want to make… But sure enough, as I started reading through the recipes, I was starring quite a few of them.
I chose this Balsamic Roasted Vegetable dish because I had quite a few veggies laying around from our last CSA box. I love how customizable this recipe could be. You can literally use almost any vegetables that you have on hand. All of the veggies that I used were from our CSA.
Hubby and I devoured these vegetables. We absolutely loved them and have made them a couple times this month already.

fig vinegar? i am assuming this is the balsamic vinegar?

I fixed the recipe to be consistent. Any dark flavored vinegar that you enjoy would be perfect in this recipe.
This dish sounds delicious, I love roasting veggies.

Me too. In fact it’s pretty much the only way I prepare veggies…
I love roasted veggies, especially beets! Looks beautiful.

Beets are one of my favorites too. Can you believe I had never had one until a couple years ago?!?
I used 4 tbs butter and 4 tbs olive oil.
Tossed vegatables, oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, 2 tsp or so dry sage and 2 tsp or so dry rosemary in large bowl and then spread on two baking sheets.
Roasted for 30 minutes and then rotated cooking sheets in oven and roasted for another 30 minutes. No stirring required
Added 4 smoked Polish sausages cut into 1″ pieces for last 30 minutes.
Next time I will line cooking sheets with foil to make cleanup simpler.
A real keeper!!

What a great addition with the sausages!!
I had a beet that was wasting away in the fridge and a lonely turnip too. So I added them and 2 large carrots, all peeled and chunked, into a baking dish. Topped with 2 Tbsp sliced butter, coated with 2 tsp dried sage, half tsp rosemary, salt & pepper. After 1 hour in the oven, stirred, splashed with apple cider vinegar, and served. Very satisfying, and a nice accompaniment to roast chicken. Thanks for sharing!
