This Roasted Vegetables with Apples recipe is a surprisingly awesome combination of sweet and savory and makes a perfect side dish to any meal!
Apples and Michigan go quite hand in hand. For as long as I can remember my family and I visited the apple orchard and my absolute favorite part was hand-picking apples from the trees.
And now as our kids are getting older I plan to continue the tradition.
This recipe was closely adapted from this recipe that I sampled on my Michigan Apples blogging trip last fall.
These Apple and Oat Breakfast Bars I made last week were also inspired by Michigan apples.
As you likely know my favorite method of cooking vegetables these days is to roast them and add some simple seasoning to them.
However, this recipe takes roasting to an entirely different level with the sweetness from the apples and the savory taste of the balsamic vinegar.
