Reviews
I’ve had veggies like this before but never tried to make them at home. This recipe was the perfect jumping off point for the method and proportions, which is really all I needed. Very easy to customize with any additional flavors if you want (finish with herbs, etc).
I’m not sure what everyone else did when they made this recipe but it is my go to. My friends request I make these veggies for potlucks and I make this at almost every dinner party I have because it is so easy and tasty. If you don’t lkve balsamic vinegar I suggest skipping this recipe then. The butter at the end is the perfect touch for this recipe! I love it.
It’s just hard to beat the natural flavor of vegetables, a little salt and pepper and baked in the oven is all you need. Didn’t care for the Balsamic vinegar in this dish at all.
I sadly agree. I was looking forward to this recipe and it all went in the trash. There is no boiling that vinegar taste out and now my house smells like pure vinegar. Glad I also made chicken. Disappointing to say the least!
I agree. Not good. Had to throw it away. Sorry Rachel!
I’m a huge Rachel Ray fan. This recipe however was, and I quote” an epic fail”. Followed the recipe verbatim. Sigh,..
