Has “sweets” been a staple food group in your daily diet during these holidays? Unfortunately, it has for me, I guess it’s time to turn over a new leaf and all since it’s the beginning of a new year.
It’s still cold here so roasting veggies in the oven is a wonderful option for some healthy eating.
Light Balsamic Roasted Veggies from my cocina (kitchen)
Ingredients
2 tbl Balsamic Vinegar
3 tbl Olive Oil
Chopped Veggies:onions, corn, carrots, red bell, potatoes(small chunks for even cooking)
Italian seasoning
salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 400
- Put chopped veggies in a bowl, except the corn and onions.
- Add the oil, vinegar and sprinkle seasoning over everything; mix well.
- Stick in oven for an hour or until the veggies are tender in the middle.
- Every 20min make sure to toss the veggies in the pan for even cooking. After the first 20min add the corn.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
Recipe was created in my cocina.
Yum – roasting is my favorite thing to do with pretty much any veggies except salad. Recently I’ve been on a roasted cauliflower kick. So tasty!
Hey Beth, I wish I would think to do it more often. I do love my crunchy fresh veggies though. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

So glad you liked the photo. I always enjoy a photo compliment esp. since I am not an expert in that area.
Those look so tasty!! Prepared the right way, veggies can be the most delicious part of a meal. Thanks for sharing at Shine on Fridays!
Amy,
Yes, I agree but the best thing is you don’t even have to prepare them to get a scrumptous bite. I love fresh red bell peppers. I can eat them like an apple.
Your delicious looking photo caught my attention on Inspiration Friday! I absolutely love roasted vegetables, and the addition of balsamic vinegar sounds wonderful! I’ll have to try this!
Blessings,
Leslie

H. Rae,
It is easy enough to make for lunch. I just put you on my link party list. Thanks for stopping by. Mari
Love it! Sounds fabulous and easy! Found you over at Junk-In-Their-Trunk!
When I tried this, I used some potatoes, yukon gold I think? and they did not get cooked through, while everything else in my pan (carrots, corn, onions, bell peppers) got way over-done. Did I do something wrong? Any suggestions? I’m thinking perhaps the potatoes should have gone in before the other veggies.
Laura,
Not sure what happened, bummer. Mine were not over cooked and my potatoes were just right. Just things to check for since I am not sure what happened if you followed the recipe exactly as stated above.
-potatoes are chopped small not large chunks
-all the veggies are evenly coated with oil
-rotating veggies every 20min
-make sure your oven doesn’t heat over 400 sometimes ovens are off so I bought an oven thermometer for ours just to make sure.
If all else fails do what works for you and stick the potatoes in first. Let me know
AHA!!! I bet that my potatoes were in too large of pieces. I’m often guilty of cutting things too big/too small/not in proportion – I think i in proportion to my potatoes the rest was probably too small, and that’s probably how I got to that point… (I’ve done a lot of thinking and examining since I cooked them in addition to what you suggested.) I am planning on trying it again sometime in the next week or two because I have a lot of leftover (uncooked) veggies that I don’t want to waste. I will let you know what happens! I definitely think it was me and not your recipe. I’m a little bit of a disaster in the kitchen, haha. I can handle one-pot dishes and casseroles, and when I move past that I’m in murky territory 🙂
Laura,
LOL, yes, do let us know. Thanks for your feedback and I did add to the recipe just in case it helped someone else, “(small chunks for even cooking).”
