Roasted vegetables with balsamic vinegar

The secret to roasted vegetables is the interplay of heat and acid. At high heat, the vegetables' water content evaporates, their flavour concentrates and sweetens. Balsamic vinegar enters this process, thickening during roasting to coat the pieces in a sweet-tart, sticky glaze, highlighting their natural character.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Wash the vegetables and cut into uniform, bite-sized pieces (approx. 2-3 cm).

Tip: Uniform size is key so they cook at the same time.
2

In a bowl, mix the oil, vinegar, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped rosemary.

Tip: The oil conducts heat, while the vinegar caramelises.
3

Toss the vegetables with the marinade, then spread them out on the baking tray in a single layer.

Tip: Do not overcrowd! The vegetables need 'air' to roast properly.
4

Roast for approx. 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the edges are browned and tender.

5

Drizzle with a few drops of fresh balsamic vinegar before serving.

Tip: Roasted vinegar is sweet, fresh vinegar is acidic – the combination gives the best flavour impact.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the tray become watery?
You put too many vegetables on the tray at once. If they touch, the escaping steam cannot escape, and they steam in their own juices. Use two trays or roast in batches.
