The easiest, simplest, and BEST way to roast vegetables – perfectly tender and packed with so much flavor!
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!

love love love roasted veggies .. love that this is so colorful! thankfully, any vegetable I roast, my kids will eat. . brussels sprouts included!! Why don’t you like them?!
Same here – my kids eat any vegetable I roast, including Brussels sprouts! We just use olive oil, granulated garlic, and salt, and my kids eat it like candy. I’ve never tried balsamic vinegar, that sounds yummy!
Yum! They look beautiful. I’m going to make extra so I can put them in a wrap with my favorite hummus.
I roast vegetables all the time but never thought of adding balsamic vinegar to them before they roast. I must try it and see what I’ve been missing! This looks fantastic.
They are good roasted with chicken or lamb chops in that same dressing. Rosemary and balsamic is a winning combination.
I love roast vegetables – looks like a great selection!
Mmm I knew there had to be garlic in there somewhere 😉 It sounds really lovely with the addition of balsamic vinegar too, yum! And thyme always gives food that lovely homely flavour 🙂 Perfect side for any Sunday roast! x
Roasted veggies and balsamic are my life. Love them! Your veggies are always so colorful and make me want to go make some, pronto!
