Honey Balsamic Roasted Vegetables
The most addictive way to eat your veggies.
This sweet and savory side dish is my favorite way to consume all the good nutrients. It seriously tastes so good. Who knew eating veggies could be so pleasurable?
On this day I had eggplant, brussel sprouts, carrots, bell peppers, jalapeño and red onion. You can add in whatever you have in your fridge, like zucchini, mushrooms or sweet potato. The best way to do this is to chop you veggies of choice into chunks. Not too small and not too big.
The most important aspect of this recipe is not to over roast these. They will be become mushy. Serve with some rice or your protein of choice.
