Balsamic roasted vegetables are like the reliable, comfy Birkenstocks or flip flops you wear most summer days, and tote with you in your bag when it's time to change out of the high heels or dress shoes you wore to the thing (like right when you leave or get into your car?). Always comforting, reliable, and fail-safe, balsamic roasted vegetables pair well with any protein for a quick and simple supper, can stand alone as a flavorful entree, or serve as a sweet-and-savory side dish. Roast several trays worth of a variety of vegetables on Sundays or whenever you do your meal prep for the week, and store them in resealable containers in the refrigerator until ready to use. Slice up for salads, dice for use in gluten-free pastas, serve alongside any roasted meats or plant-based proteins, and make into a colorful macro bowl with greens, protein, and seeds or nuts.
Our video (below) shows you how to make a quick balsamic glaze, and how to roast balsamic Brussels sprouts, balsamic mushrooms, balsamic roasted carrots, and balsamic asparagus flavored simply with salt and pepper, Primal Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Primal Kitchen Organic Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Watch Primal Kitchen home cook hero Brian use our Whole30 Approved, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Certified Paleo balsamic vinegar without any added color to make quick roasted vegetables.
Roasting vegetables involves minimal preparation: Simply wash; dry; trim away stems, leaves, or rough ends; slice in half or cube vegetables (depending on what you're roasting); and toss vegetables with oil, seasoning, and herbs or balsamic vinegar (if using) then let the oven do the rest of the work. Roast vegetables with similar cook times together, and try to keep the size of the vegetables you're roasting together about the same size (whether you cut them in cubes, chunks, half-moon slices, in halves or quarters). Check out our table at the bottom of this post for suggested roast vegetable cook times and temperatures.
