Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Glaze

  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano), chopped, for garnish
  • Additional sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your vegetables: Wash and chop your chosen vegetables into evenly sized bite-sized pieces to ensure uniform roasting and easy glaze absorption.
  2. Whisk the glaze: In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar (natural), maple syrup (natural), minced garlic, a pinch of sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and natural gelling agent. Whisk vigorously until the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened.
  3. Toss vegetables with olive oil: Place the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Toss gently to coat every piece evenly to develop a beautiful roasted texture and flavor.
  4. Roast the vegetables: Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a lined roasting pan or baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes, then flip the veggies to promote even cooking.
  5. Glaze and finish roasting: After flipping, brush the balsamic glaze generously over the vegetables. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are soft and caramelized around the edges.
  6. Garnish and serve: Once roasted, sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme and add a light pinch of salt if needed. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut vegetables evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the roasting pan to prevent steaming and encourage caramelization.
  • Whisk the glaze well to activate the natural gelling agent and achieve a smooth coating.
  • Brush the glaze onto the vegetables halfway through roasting to maximize flavor absorption and prevent burning.
