Wow! This was a great dish. I love the balsamic flavor with the simply roasted vegetables. I used 2 sweet potatoes, 2 carrots and one beet, and made half of the vinegar sauce following the recipe exactly. I baked the vegetables for 45 minutes, and the potatoes were soft and the carrots & beets were slightly firm. This one is a keeper and going into my 10 star cookbook!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I was born in a small Canadian prairie town but was raised in the city. Country living appeals to me more and more and now I think I have the best of both worlds, living just outside the city but within a 30 minute drive from downtown.
I enjoy the wildlife I see out my kitchen window and my vegetable and flower gardens in the summer. And I love cooking with the produce from my garden, although there always seems to be too much at once. Learning to can became a necessity with all those beautiful vegetables and I now really enjoy making pickles, relish, salsa, jams and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I have 2 teenage sons and cooking to suit everyone's taste is always a challenge. Recipezaar has certainly made life easier in that regard, with so many great recipes to choose from.
