Balsamic Roasted Vegetables
Balsamic Roasted Vegetables are a tasty and healthy way to eat your veggies that is naturally gluten-free, paleo, and Whole 30 compliant! It’s super easy to make this recipe for roasted vegetables with balsamic vinegar, which adds amazing flavor to this simple side dish recipe.
How to Roast Veggies with Balsamic Vinegar
This recipe may not be a novel concept, but I love roasting veggies. It just takes a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, since the caramelization from roasting them at a high temperature gives them such a delicious flavor. I make Basic Roasted Cauliflower pretty much once a week, and in the fall Roasted Butternut Squash joins the regular rotation. I just love how the caramelization enhances the flavor of the vegetables. They make a simple side dish, you can use them on top of a salad, or make rice or cauliflower rice bowls with your favorite protein.
Sometimes I like to switch things up a bit and add some flavors to complement whatever I am making as the main course. Lemon Parmesan Roasted Broccoli has gotten even the pickiest eaters to actually have some green veggies. I love the little charred bits on the edges of the broccoli. And for a little sweet twist, Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash is one of my personal favorites.
This time, the key flavor addition is something most of you probably have in your pantry at all times…
It just takes a little balsamic vinegar to give this Balsamic Roasted Vegetables recipe tons of flavor!
Mmmm, so tasty! I’ve used plenty of different combinations of veggies in this recipe, too, so feel free to use your favorites. The first time I took photos of these roasted vegetables with balsamic vinegar (you can see one of those embarrassingly awful photos at the bottom of this post), I was using some of the roasted veggies in Roasted Veggie Balsamic Meatloaf. That time I went all out with onions and tomatoes and mushrooms and carrots and celery and cauliflower. That time I kept out some of the sweet potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and cauliflower to serve as the veggie side for the meal. And in the photos you see here, I stuck with a very fall and winter combination of veggies, with cauliflower, mushrooms, carrots, and butternut squash.
These roasted veggies with balsamic vinegar would be a great side dish for…

- Sundried Tomato Rosemary Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak
- Eggplant Parmigiana Pasta Casserole
- Lasagna Stuffed Meatloaf
- Lemon Herb Slow Cooker Roast Chicken
Round out the meal with a side dish like Lemon and Garlic Roasted Potatoes, which are so flavorful From Valerie’s Kitchen. Maybe you want to pair your main course and veggies with Savory Soft Polenta from A Family Feast. Italian Rice Pilaf with Toasted Almonds from That Skinny Chick Can Bake is another fabulous option.

February 2, 2018 at 10:29 pmI just came across this on Pinterest and it looks amazing. I was considering what to have with my steak tonight and I think I just found it.
I always like adding balsamic (or red wine vinegar) to everything too – it improves the taste every single time!

December 8, 2013 at 1:11 amI wonder where the tomatoes are in the pictures – I would like to see how they held up to the heat. This would be an insta hit in my house. My guy likes to put balsamic on nearly everything he cooks and everyone (from my dad to my 3 year old) always love it.
Brianne Izzo says
December 9, 2013 at 10:12 pmHaha, I actually used a lot of the veggies, including all of the tomatoes, in a roasted veggie meatloaf that I posed on the blog, and I took the photos after I used the tomatoes.

May 6, 2012 at 8:51 pmI know – so much flavor without adding a lot of calories or sugar or salt.

May 1, 2012 at 10:13 amI could eat a big bowl of these right now! Love the balsamic addition!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
May 1, 2012 at 12:17 pmI add balsamic to pretty much everything!!
Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies says
April 30, 2012 at 5:27 pmI love roasted veggies, but I very rarely add balsamic vinegar to them. I’m going to have to do that next time–this looks so good!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
April 30, 2012 at 7:51 pmGive it a try. It adds such great flavor. I do it for asparagus all the time.

October 8, 2014 at 6:01 pmi’ve done roasted veggies with balsamic for some time now…love it….
also now use white balsamic with greek salad…found with lemon, or red wine vinegar
or even dark balsamic you have to be careful as those types of acids can overwhelm.
…but white balsamic has a subtle sweetness to it, too, so it balances the peppery bite
of say, the red onions….try it…so fun to experiment.
