Easy Roasted Vegetables with Honey and Balsamic Syrup

We all get busy and after a hard day sometimes don’t feel like putting a lot of effort into a meal. This super tasty Easy Roasted Vegetables with Honey and Balsamic Syrup comes to the rescue! The sauce used after roasting is still my most viewed recipe here and on Pinterest.
The past couple weeks have had me doing 10-11 hour days, traveling out of town and just getting way behind in keeping up with my usual blog reading. Juggling a day job and this site has it’s challenges and sometimes I walk into the kitchen at 6 or 7pm and realize I have nothing planned for dinner. So the slow cooker is a great friend (if you think about it early in the day!) and another great trick is to turn on the oven right away to heat it up and roast some vegetables.
These Easy Roasted Vegetables with Honey and Balsamic Syrup are great all on their own or with rotisserie chicken or fish – you’re all set. The vegetables are tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted until they get caramelized and the edges are crispy. 30 minutes tops, and the potatoes are creamy, the sprouts are crunchy and the sweet shallot and carrots balance it all out!
With the recent Daylight Savings Time switch it gets dark early here and I don’t know about you, but it makes me think it’s later than it is and to get crackin’ on making dinner. Roasted vegetables are easy, healthy and so easy. The perfect side dish or make enough for an entire meal.
After roasting they get tossed with a little olive oil, honey and balsamic syrup. If you don’t have the concentrated syrup balsamic vinegar always works, too. You’ve had a hard day, don’t sweat it. If the medley of veggies isn’t on hand or you just have brussels sprouts try this out.

This recipe was very easy to prepare and can easily be doubled for larger crowds. Our Wednesday Night Dinner bunch certainly enjoyed the recipe, and we will be making again.
o glad you enjoyed this one Tim. 🙂
Wow, my husband said these were the best roast vegetables he’s ever had! I used sugar free pancake syrup as I’m diabetic instead of the honey. I made a double batch and we are having them again tonight. Thank you for the recipe!
I am so glad you enjoyed them Annie!
Can this be made a head of time and reheated? If so, what would you suggest? I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Sure you can, but it will definitely not have that crispy, fresh from the oven texture.
