Substitutions And Additions
VEGETABLES: We believe that the ingredients for this recipe list the best vegetables to roast.
But, if you have different vegetables that need to be used up, you could also add parsnips, zucchini, marrow, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet onion, green bell pepper, eggplant, butternut squash, or most other kinds of root vegetables.
NUTRITIONAL YEAST: Adding a couple of tablespoons of nutritional yeast flakes along with the spices will add a subtle cheesy taste and lots of extra vitamins and minerals.
SPICE: You can customize the spice in this recipe and give it a different delicious flavor each time.
Try a dash of chili powder, curry powder, or even fresh herbs such as fresh thyme or rosemary.
How To Make This Roasted Vegetables Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
STEP TWO: Wash and chop all the vegetables and place them into a large bowl.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Some vegetables cook faster than others, so you’ll want the slower cooking vegetables to be in smaller pieces than the faster-cooking vegetables. Slow-cooking vegetables are potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and brussels sprouts. Fast cooking vegetables are bell peppers, asparagus, and onions.
STEP THREE: Pour the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top of the vegetables.
STEP FOUR: Add the minced garlic, olive oil, and spices. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
STEP FIVE: Place the vegetables onto the baking sheets. Use a spatula to scrape the remaining olive oil and spices from the bowl and drizzle it on top.
PRO TIP:
Ensure the vegetables are in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
STEP SIX: Place both baking trays into the oven for 40 minutes. Be sure to stir them mid-way through cooking.
PRO TIP:
The edges of the baking sheet tends to cook hotter than the center, plus if you don’t toss they may brown too much on the bottom.
STEP SEVEN: Remove the roast vegetables from the oven and serve immediately.

I can’t wait to try this but the balsamic was never mentioned in the directions. Do we just add it in with the olive oil? Thanks!
