The onions and garlic were black, so the 2nd time I made this, I reduced the heat to 375 and did 1/2 butter and 1/2 olive oil with much better results! -
Wonderful recipe. Easy to put together. It tastes heavenly when it's roasted and the flavors blend. I served this with PanNan's Pork Tenderloin with Merlot-Shallot Sauce. Dinner was awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. -
I was out of onions, so I just did potatoes and carrots- a half batch. Deliciously yummy!

The carrots in this dish were just amazing and I think I am going to make a batch of just them to take along in my lunches next week. For the carrots I give 5 stars. Instead of slicing the onion I suggest a very large dice and separate into pieces for even cooking. The onions caramalize a little and taste so good. I eliminated the butter and drizzled with olive oil instead. -
Great side dish full of flavor and colors. I had the same problem with burnt, shriveled onions even though I cut them thicker, like one poster recommended. Maybe adding them later in the baking process would alleviate this. The balsamic vinegar and thyme really added to the flavor. Thanks CountryLady!

We love roasting vegetables and so used this recipe for the addition of balsamic vinegar. I also used olive oil instead of butter. I will try this recipe again with only the stated vegies because today the pan was full with yams, potatoes, baby carrots, onions, green pepper, asparagus, mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, garlic and so the vinegar flavour was kind of lost in the mish mash.

These were really really good! The balsamic vinegar really adds a different flavor to this that goes so well with the vegetables. I cut my pieces smaller - I used small red potatoes and quartered them, and regular carrots that I cut into 1/2 inch slices before halving them. I still cooked them for the stated time, and it seemed like it needed it in order to be tender. I also threw in a few cauliflower florets, and used olive oil instead of butter. Thank you for sharing this.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
