- 1 cup broccoli florets cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 cup cauliflower florets cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 cup bell pepper cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 cup brussels sprouts quartered, stems removed
- 1 cup red onion cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 4 cups arugula
- 1/4 cup goat or feta cheese
- 1/4 cup pepitas (roasted pumpkin seeds)
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450° and line a large baking pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine all of the chopped vegetables, and toss with salt, pepper, paprika, and avocado or olive oil. Spread in the single layer onto prepared baking pan. Roast for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Toss to coat, and return to oven for 10 minutes.

Recipe Notes
Any vegetables that you like can be used. Sweet potatoes or baby reds would be a tasty addition, just make sure to cut into small pieces as they will take longer to roast than the other veggies.
You can use your favorite store bought balsamic vinaigrette, or see the link in the post for my favorite homemade version. Easy and delish!
I have a variety of flavored balsamic vinegars, and they work great on veggies. I used a black cherry balsamic.
