Jamie Oliver’s Balsamic Roasted Vegetables is a medley of seasonal vegetables roasted to perfection with a sweet and tangy balsamic glaze. The caramelized edges of the veggies, combined with the rich balsamic flavor, create a dish that’s both hearty and refreshing. It’s a versatile recipe that works as a side, a main, or even a topping for salads and grains.
2 medium zucchinis (courgettes), sliced into rounds
1 red bell pepper, chopped into chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped into chunks
1 red onion, cut into wedges
2 medium carrots, sliced diagonally
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 small eggplant (aubergine), chopped into chunks
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh thyme)
1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh rosemary)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). This ensures the vegetables roast evenly and develop a beautiful caramelized texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and chop all the vegetables into even-sized pieces. This helps them cook uniformly. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3: Make the Balsamic Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4: Toss the Vegetables
Pour the balsamic glaze over the vegetables and toss well to ensure they’re evenly coated.
Step 5: Arrange on Baking Tray
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking tray. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper roasting.
Step 6: Roast the Vegetables
Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
