Balsamic Roasted Cauliflower, Sweet Potatoes and Onions - The Lemon Bowl

In the meantime, I have a simple and delicious side dish to help you get through the winter doldrums. A lot of people tell me they tend to eat the same vegetable side dish night after night – usually steamed green beans or broccoli. While delicious, I always recommend eating a variety of foods all year long for maximum nutrition and health benefits.

Balsamic Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Cauliflower & Onions couldn’t be easier to make or more tasty. Feel free to mix and match with any vegetables you have on hand such as parsnips, Brussels or kohlrabi. The options are endless.

Your fork is waiting.

Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Place chopped veggies (sweet potatoes, cauliflower and onion) in a large resealable plastic bag and drizzle with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Seal tightly and shake well until vegetables are evenly coated.
  3. Spread vegetables in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast until lightly browned and caramelized, 20-25 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
Recipe Notes

The key to a deep, golden brown vegetable is not over-crowding the baking sheet. If you find the vegetables too crowded, use two pans. If the vegetables are too crowded you will end up steaming them, not roasting them.

  1. This was super easy to make and absolutely delicious! I stirred the veggies in the middle of cooking to make sure they got more evenly browned and caramelized. I didn’t have any fresh herbs on hand, unfortunately, but I sprinkled them with a little cayenne pepper and it was perfect!

  2. I just made this and it was delicious. Thanks for the tip about spreading the vegetables out really well to get a good roast on them!

  3. Can these vegetables be roasted in advance and reheated? I’m trying to put together a dinner and would like to do some preparation in advance. Any tips or suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

    • Yes they absolutely can be reheated although they will be slightly softer than having just come out of the oven. Of course you could always reheat in the oven to get them crispy again! Enjoy Bob!

  4. Made the full recipe and it was very good. But even better was the frittata I made the next day with 3 cups of leftovers! Added thyme, fresh basil, some Parmesan and goat cheese.
