Honey Balsamic Glazed Roasted Carrots and Green Beans (Gluten Free)

DSC_1743
I made this side dish for neighbors who recently had a baby and eat a Gluten Free Diet. I love roasted vegetables, especially roasted carrots. The ingredients are interchangeable because the original recipe calls for beets instead of green beans. I think all three together would be great too. This is one super healthy, very simple way to get your daily dose of veggies.

Combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a large skillet. Add the vegetables to the skillet along with any oil that has accumulated in the pan. Heat the vegetables over medium-high heat and cook until the glaze bubbles and thickens. Coat the carrots and beans with the glaze.

  9. Awesome list! �� Homemade is always best. I’m slowly replacing everything “store-bought” from my weekly repertoire with homemade. Something I’ve not yet tried making is cheese though. And yogurt! Next on my list ��
