This is a great recipe for a healthy and flavorful side dish. I like to use a variety of vegetables, such as broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The only thing I do differently is I roast the vegetables at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes instead of 20 minutes.

This recipe was a hit! The asparagus and carrots were perfectly tender and the glaze was delicious. I added a little bit of garlic powder to the glaze for extra flavor.
