This easy casserole dish of roasted vegetables is a recipe that you will want to use often. Even the pickiest of eaters will love the mixture of flavors that come through with this dish. You can find a wide variety of fresh vegetables at your local farmer’s market and most supermarkets now carry outstanding assortments of vegetables year round. You only need to have a sharp knife and a good baking sheet on hand to create this excellent meal.
You can easily make a few substitutions to this recipe. Swap out the balsamic vinegar for lemon juice and you will have a tarter taste. Yukon gold potatoes can be replaced with sweet potatoes or baking potatoes. I like to use 3 colors of peppers when I make this dish, it really adds to the visual appeal. Make this dish a day or two ahead and then reheat when you are ready to serve. Just make sure you don’t over bake.

Roasted vegetables are a great way to add flavor and color to a meal. I have also found that this is a good, and maybe sneaky, way to get my kids to eat vegetables. They taste great, look good and can be mixed with other foods.
Great recipe! I actually prefer to use sweet potatoes, I really like the flavor they add. The lemon juice idea is nice, I am going to have to try that.
