Categories     Potato

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs potatoes, medium-sized, peeled and halved
6 carrots, peeled and cut into thirds
2 medium onions, peeled and halved
3 celery ribs, cut into 3-inch lengths
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons prepared mustard (I like Heinz)
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons malt vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)
1 teaspoon dried sweet basil leaves
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder, tomato flavored (look in Mexican aisle at grocery)
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

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!
