Sicilian-Style Roasted Vegetables with Balsamic Syrup image

We had extra green beans and red bell peppers, so I decided to roast them and treat them in the classically Sicilian agrodolce style by tossing the vegetables with orange and lemon juices and then drizzling them with reduced balsamic vinegar.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb green beans, trimmed
1 large red bell pepper, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/3 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c fresh orange juice
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp grated orange zest

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss green beans and bell pepper strips with oil, salt, and pepper in large bowl. Spread in single layer on baking sheet, and roast 20 to 25 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender and beginning to brown, stirring occasionally.
  • 2. Bring vinegar to a boil in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes, or until vinegar is thick and syrupy, stirring occasionally.
  • 3. Toss green bean mixture with orange juice, lemon juice, and orange zest in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Transfer to serving dish, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar syrup.

I substituted honey for the balsamic syrup and it turned out great. I also added some chopped walnuts for a little extra crunch.

The balsamic syrup adds a delicious sweetness and depth of flavor to the vegetables. I especially loved the tomatoes and zucchini.
