Balsamic Oven Roasted Vegetables

There are so many delicious vegetables out there that I find it hard to believe people who claim they don't like vegetables. Seriously!? C'mon. No vegetables at all? Well, if you are not willing to try new things, then this post is not for you. However, if you are willing to try vegetables, and you like the flavor combination of oil and vinegar, then give these a shot. They are good. No, really! They are delicious!!! You can eat them as a side or toss them in a pasta dish. Or, if you are like me, you can just eat them from a bowl...until they are gone.
