Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 8 oz baby carrots, 1 sliced medium zucchini, 1 cut red bell pepper, and 1 small cut red onion with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Step 2: Spread the vegetables in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and edges start to caramelize.
- Step 3: While the vegetables roast, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced by half and syrupy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Step 4: Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the roasted vegetables before serving to add a tangy sweetness that complements the herbs.
