Although I can’t say I’ve ever been a new mum before (or have I….kekekeke), I can imagine how stressful and tiring it must be. With that in mind, I wanted to share a recipe which could be made mindlessly and be chock full of nutrients too. I also know Michelle LOVES her vegetables (maybe even more than Xander. Just kidding) so here we have an easy, one pan caramelized vegetables.

This one-pan caramelized vegetable recipe is customizable, delicious and so good, you don’t even need to eat it with anything (but you should). It literally takes two minutes to prep and you simply roast them slowly in the oven and then come back after an hour and voila- Perfect, Roasted Root Vegetables. Although these vegetables are ‘carmelized,’ there is actually no added sugar! The key to this is the longer roasting time in which the natural sweetness shines through. Adding a dash of salt infused seasoning also helps enhance the sweetness in which you’ll never eat veggies any other way again! Paleo, gluten-free and vegan- No one is off limits.

Make this easy one pan caramelised vegetables for your next side dish, dinner or well…snack. Oh, and for Michelle’s baby shower!

  1. I say caramelized…but I assume if you are from pretty much anywhere other than the U.S. though it would be caramalised…your veggie dish sounds amazing though, will have to give that a try asap! Thanks for hosting WIAW! 🙂

  2. Easy healthy side dishes like this one are the best! I love caramelizing my veggies too. So much yum 🙂

  3. This post makes me so happy and so sad all at the same time. I don’t have an oven! You’re killin’ me!
    But really, this recipe looks delicious:)

  4. Sweet potato and cheddar pancakes? That sounds like the key to getting my hubs to enjoy sweet potatoes! Thanks for hosting the party!

  5. You know I make my veggies like this a lot and never thought of it as carmelizing but you’re right. So good!

  6. Roasted veggies are my favorite! Ive never tried them caramelized (that’s how I would spell it:)) but this looks delicious!

  7. I love carameliZed anything – so veggies sounds great! I love them roasted – especially sweet potato and squash – so this looks especially delicious.

  8. Hmmm…good question, mate. I say caramelized, but then again I have been brainwashed by the U.S. media. Speaking of U.S. media, I think you count in that category now…and I will gladly be brainwashed by these delicious looking roasted veggies! I’m pretty sure I need to make these happen for dinner tonight!

  9. So, I’ve been known to roast an entire tray of veggies and then eat the while pan… so glad that it’s starting to get cool so I can start roasting everything again!!

  10. Wow perfect timing. I’ve been getting bored of my lack-luster pan of roasted veggies and have been thinking if there was any way I could jazz them up. Who knew just a longer amount of time could be the key?

  11. This is pretty much exactly how we roast our veggies in the oven. My favorites are the carrots – they turn so deliciously sweet 🙂 some hot sauce as a side and I am happy.

    I’d settle for carameliZed, but honestly, what would I know 😛

  12. I am making these asap. Never have I drooled over vegetables before, but I am doing it now. And I spell it carameliZed. It’s the American way, you Aussie 😉

  13. Those veggies look amazing! I always forget about roasting them. I need to bring this back especially as the weather cools down!

  14. Roasted vegetables are my favorite, hands down. To think, that I hadn’t tried them until a couple years ago, is a sad thought, but I’m thankful that I know how to do them now! 🙂
