These balsamic roasted vegetables bring together fall and winter favorites in one vibrant, flavor-packed side dish.

The high heat brings out natural sweetness, while the vinegar and mustard keep every bite bright and savory. This easy side dish is perfect for weeknight dinners and holiday tables alike!
Ingredients
- 5½ Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar plus more for garnish
- 1½ Tbsp chopped fresh sturdy herbs such as thyme and rosemary, plus more for garnish
- 1½ Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- ½ tsp plus ⅛ tsp salt divided
- 1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into ½-inch-thick half-moons (about 4 cups)
- 1 large red onion (about 12 ounces), cut into ½-inch wedges (about 2½ cups)
- 8 ounces Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved (about 2 cups)
- 1 (8-oz) pkg broccoli florets, larger florets halved (about 3 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F with racks in upper and lower third positions. Whisk 5½ tablespoons oil, ¼ cup vinegar, 1½ tablespoons herbs, 1½ tablespoons mustard, 1 teaspoon pepper and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside ⅓ cup of the mixture.
- Add sliced squash and onion wedges to the remaining mixture in the bowl; toss to coat. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Do not wash the bowl. Roast on the lower rack until the vegetables start to brown on the undersides, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss halved Brussels sprouts and broccoli with the reserved ⅓ cup oil mixture in the same bowl. Spread in a single layer, cut-sides down, on another large rimmed baking sheet.
- Move the squash and onions to the upper rack. Place the broccoli and Brussels sprouts on the lower rack. Continue roasting until all the vegetables are tender and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt. Garnish with more vinegar and/or herbs, if desired.
