Steps:
- Blend all ingredients except for the vegetables in a large mixing bowl to make the marinade. Pour in the vegetables and stir them around so that they get initially coated with marinade.
- Marinate the vegetables in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, stirring once or twice.
- Place the vegetables, with all the marinade, in an 9" x 13" (or larger) casserole dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake on the middle rack in a pre-heated oven at 375-degrees F. for 45 minutes.
- Serve hot.
- TIP: Sometimes the potatoes and carrots I use in this recipe are a little flaccid -- so, to fix that problem, all I do is soak them in really cold water (after they're peeled) for about 2 hours before marinating and they crisp right up!
Tips for Making Crunchy Marinated Vegetables:
- Choose the right vegetables. Vegetables that hold their crunch well, such as carrots, celery, cucumbers, and bell peppers, are best for marinating.
- Slice the vegetables thinly. This will help them absorb the marinade more evenly.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade should be flavorful and acidic, which will help to tenderize the vegetables and add flavor.
- Marinate the vegetables for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the vegetables, the more flavor they will absorb.
- Serve the vegetables chilled. This will help them stay crisp and refreshing.
Conclusion:
Crunchy marinated vegetables are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you love. So next time you're looking for a healthy and refreshing snack, reach for a bowl of crunchy marinated vegetables.
