I had a bunch of lingering veggies in the fridge from various things I made earlier in the week, so I decided to make my very own roasted veggies. A basic clean-out-the-fridge type meal.
I kept it super simple using fresh garlic, dried thyme, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar – my ultimate weakness. Best of all, I only used veggies that I like. I tend to pick out certain veggies if they are not to my liking – like brussels sprouts. Sorry, not a fan at all.
But if the vegetables listed here are not your favorites, this recipe can easily accommodate tons of other veggies. Just make sure you get that extra balsamic vinegar and garlic – you can never have too much of either!

This is how I cook all my vegetables during the summers. I use a couple different types of my own rubs on them, but I must try this recipe when the weather is warmer.
wow! This looks great! Such a simple and delicious and healthy meal – perfect for the new year 🙂 Pinning!
how would you recommend preparing this using frozen vegetables? Would I need to do anything different? I am single, work a lot, and don’t always have time to go to the grocery store for fresh veggies
Trying to grill vegetables that were frozen doesn’t work. The freezing process adds too much water to them and it just leaves them really soggy in texture and that is not what you want to end up with.
Frozen veggies roast just fine too! Takes a little longer to cook but come out just as delicious!
We are going camping over the Thanksgiving holiday. I’m thinking of prepping the veg’s and freezing in foil packets to put in the grill. Do you think that would work out ok?
You don’t need to freeze them. When camping, I’ve wrapped veggies in foil after being tossed with oil mixture and thrown them on the BBQ and they turn out great!
This looks great, but in what world does prepping all those veggies take 5 minutes?
Took me about an hour to cut up all of mine! Can’t wait to try it taking it to a Mother’s Day cook out in the park!
She used veggies that were lingering in her fridge which cut down her prep time considerably. Smart move!
Sounds delicious I am going to try very soon.
Wonderful pictures, I got really hungry. 🙂 In your opinion, which vegetable is the most delicious when you roast it?
Perfect and colorful fall side dish. Looking forward to shopping today.
I thought I didn’t like Brussels sprouts until I tried roasting them. Toss in olive oil and S&P, roast for 20ish minutes at 450 degrees — they come out like candy. Caramelized on the outside and tender on the inside. Seriously, so good.
Cauliflower would blend in well and add an additional color.
I just love how colorful these veggies are! I also add balsamic to my veggies. I love the flavor it adds!!
Such gorgeous colors!
Look at all those colours! I love roasting veggies, so good! Great recipe!
Love roasted veggies! Definitely need to make some soon, they are the perfect side accompaniment for dinner. Thanks for the inspiration!
Roasted vegetables are forever my fav. Loving the colours!
Simple perfection. Love roasted veggies. : )
I love roasted veggies, I could eat that whole tray!
These vegetables look so colorful, I would want to eat them any time!
I do this about 3 times a week because it’s just so easy! However, it usually takes 20-25 mins in my oven and I turn on the broiler during the last 5 min to get that browning. Then grate a little Asiago or parm on it when it comes out of the oven. Yum!
I agree on time. I loke to marinate veggies with Italian dressing overnight in a zip lock bag. Drain and roast:)
I make a similar one but haven’t used balsamic vinegar, just oil, garlic and sea salt to dress. Sounds like an interesting twist.
