One Pan Wonder: We love recipes that involve just one pan. It means less mess and more time to enjoy the meal and your family. Another favorite is our Thai Chicken and Rice.
Family Favorite: This recipe is a true family favorite at our place. We keep making it again and again and it goes fast!
Great Way to Have Veggies: We love getting our daily veggie fix from these roasted veggies, a lot like we do with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut or this ever-amazing Crispy Asian Ramen Salad.

Key Recipe Ingredients

Vegetables – We’ll be using veggies such as butternut squash, zucchini, sweet bell peppers, sweet potatoes, and mushrooms for a variety of flavors and textures.
Fresh Herbs – Herbs such as oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary lend a robust, aromatic flavor to the vegetables.
Balsamic Vinegar – We recommend getting some really good balsamic vinegar. Richly flavored, good-quality balsamic makes a big difference!

Substitutions And Variations

Here are some of our favorite variations and substitutions:

Vegetables: Feel free to mix up the vegetables based on what’s in season or what you have on hand. Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and red onions are all great options.
Herbs: Thyme, oregano, rosemary, and basil are our go-to herbs, but you can also try adding a sprig of fresh sage or others you may like.
Spices: You can also play around with the spices. We love adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
