Great recipe!!

Easy to make and you can easily substitute your own favorite vegetables instead of those in this recipe. I used 5 MULTICOLOR CARROTS, 1 bell pepper, 5 small RUSSET POTATOES, 1 sweet potato. After I cut the vegetables, I put them in a big mixing bowl with the OLIVE oil and sprinkled Emerile’s seasoning generously and mixed with my hands to cover.
Put on sheet pan covered with nonstick aluminium foil and no cleanup!!
The BALSAMIC SAUCE was the bomb!!

Delicious! I used honey in place of the sugar as I just finished a cleanse and am steering clear of sugar. If you use honey, drizzle it as soon as it is done or it becomes gooey. Still yummy though. I’ll be eating this dish a lot as I move to a more plant based diet.

ROASTED RAINBOW VEGGIES….THE BEST!! SUPER SUPER EASY AND DELISH!! SO worth it!!! Eat alone for no meat meal or as a side dish. Dont forget the glaze, wow yum yum yum. but adjust the sweetness, I used double the amount of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sugar, (as I made this drizzle for another couple dishes I as making that day) still slightly too sweet to me. ( had a lil drizzle left over and the drizzle is now a couple days old and I am putting it on everything!..lol) Pour on drizzle after they are done roasting!  OH, and be careful overeating these veggies….makes your tummy….rumble  😉 LOL
