Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 carrots, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1 large rutabaga, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1 large beet, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1 yellow onion, halved and slivered
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup (reduced slightly from 1/4 cup)
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Lightly oil a large baking sheet or shallow roasting pan.
  • Place the root vegetables in the pan.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables then season with salt and pepper and tossing gently to coat; spreading the vegetables into a single layer.
  • Roast for about 45 minutes, stirring and shaking the pan occasionally for even cooking. Cook until lightly browned and just this side of tender.
  • Sauce: Meanwhile, gently heat the butter and melt. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup.
  • Pour the sauce over the vegetables the [final*]10 minutes of roasting. Cook the vegetable mixture until tender and the sauce has started to caramelize.
  • Use a metal spatula to toss and turn the vegetables making sure they are well coated with the sauce.
  • Serve hot. Pass the salt and pepper shakers.
  • The sauce was **delicious** spooned over brown rice!

I followed the recipe exactly and the vegetables were still a little tough. I think I'll try cooking them for a few more minutes next time.

The vegetables were a little dry, but the glaze was really good. I think I'll try roasting them at a lower temperature next time.

These were so yummy! I used a variety of root vegetables and they all turned out great. The glaze was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.
