Comforting side dish of Autumn Vegetables with sweet balsamic glaze, perfect for the holidays!

How to make these Autumn Vegetables:

To start, preheat your oven to 400 F. Prep all vegetables (if you can find pre cut bags of vegetables, it’s a huge time saver).

Then toss the cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and carrots in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and layer the vegetables evenly over the paper.

Bake the vegetables at 400 F for 20-25 minutes, turning a couple times during baking so the vegetables don’t burn. Oven times may vary so taste one of each vegetable to make sure they’re equally soft.

Meanwhile, you can make the balsamic glaze (this can be done while veggies are baking).

To do this, in a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until the shallots are soft, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, and let shallots cook for 1 more minute. Then add the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, vegetable stock, agave and lemon juice. Bring to a slow boil on low heat and cook until the glaze is reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and let the sauce sit for 5 minutes.

When the cooked vegetables are ready, return to the large bowl. Add the white beans and golden raisins to the vegetable mix and stir. Set aside.

Drizzle the glaze over the vegetable mix and stir to coat. Serve immediately.

Note: If prepping this dish ahead of time, it’s best to keep the vegetables separate from the glaze until ready to serve. It’s also best served warm.

Serve these veggies on the side of any holiday dinner, maybe even scoop them on top of some mashed potatoes or even Mashed Cauliflower.
