Recipe of the Week

Roasted Fall Vegetables

The best part of this recipe is that it requires little effort. Toss these colorful vegetables with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and herbs, and roast in your oven until fork tender. The balsamic vinegar adds a touch of tang, the herbs bring an earthy flavor, and the creamy roasted garlic is the crowning touch.

Sweet Potato - 1 large, peeled and cubed
Butternut Squash - ½ lb, peeled and cubed
Baby Potatoes - 10, sliced in half
Green Beans - ½ lb
Carrots - 3 small-medium, peeled and halved
Baby Bella Mushrooms - 8 oz package
Red Onion - ½, cut into wedges
Garlic - 1 head, peeled
Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 2 tbsp.
Balsamic Vinegar - 2 tbsp.
Italian Seasoning - 2 tbsp.
Fresh Thyme - to taste
Salt - 2 tsp, or to taste
Freshly Cracked Pepper - to taste

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place all ingredients on a large baking sheet.
Toss well to coat all the veggies with the oil, vinegar and spices.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until fork tender (but still crisp, not mushy).
