Balsamic Roasted Vegetables
Balsamic Roasted Vegetables are a tasty and healthy way to eat your veggies! It’s super easy to make roasted vegetables and balsamic vinegar adds amazing flavor to this simple side dish recipe.
How to Roast Vegetables 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.
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. 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 was one of my favorites…
It just takes a little balsamic vinegar to give Balsamic Roasted Vegetables 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. When I was using the vegetables in Roasted Veggie Balsamic Meatloaf, I went all out with onions and tomatoes and mushrooms and carrots and celery and cauliflower. Oh, and you’ll notice that I list several vegetables in the ingredients list that you don’t see pictured. I tossed all of those into the puree for this meatloaf, and just kept out the extra sweet potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and cauliflower as the veggie side for the meal.
These roasted veggies with balsamic vinegar would be a great side dish for…

I 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!
Give it a try. It adds such great flavor. I do it for asparagus all the time.
i’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.
I will!
I could eat a big bowl of these right now! Love the balsamic addition!
I add balsamic to pretty much everything!!
I’m with you….I put balsamic on everything. You just can’t go wrong!
I know – so much flavor without adding a lot of calories or sugar or salt.
I 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.
Haha, 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.
Now that fall is here this is exactly the kind of side dish I’m craving.
