Ingredients

1 medium yellow squash, diced

1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), diced

1 large red onion, diced

2 cups cauliflower florets

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, red onion, and cauliflower.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Toss and Coat: Pour the balsamic dressing over the veggies and toss until everything is evenly coated.

          Roast the Veggies: Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

            Assemble the Bowl: If using, divide the cooked quinoa or brown rice into serving bowls. Top with the roasted veggies.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh basil or parsley on top for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy your delightful balsamic roasted veggie bowl!
