Join us on a culinary journey as we explore three enticing recipes that celebrate the beauty and versatility of roasted vegetables.

**Recipe 1: Classic Roasted Vegetables with Olive Oil and Herbs**
In this classic recipe, we keep it simple yet flavorful. Fresh vegetables are tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a fragrant blend of herbs, then roasted until tender-crisp. The result is a colorful and aromatic dish that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, fish, or as a standalone vegetarian meal.

**Recipe 2: Honey-Roasted Vegetables with Balsamic Glaze**
For a touch of sweetness and tang, try our honey-roasted vegetables with balsamic glaze. A combination of honey, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and olive oil creates a luscious glaze that caramelizes the vegetables during roasting, resulting in a delightful interplay of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors.

**Recipe 3: Roasted Vegetables with Feta and Tzatziki Sauce**
Inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, this recipe combines roasted vegetables with crumbled feta cheese and a refreshing tzatziki sauce. The creamy, tangy sauce complements the roasted vegetables perfectly, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and textures. Serve as a side dish or as a mezze platter appetizer.

Chop the peppers into 1/2-inch strips, then cut the strips in half.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (we prefer this to silicone baking mats because it results in crispier veggies). Spread the vegetables evenly onto each sheet. Drizzle half the olive oil onto each tray, then with half the seasonings onto each tray. Mix with your hands until evenly coated.
