    BLT Burger- Whole 30 Approved

    Roasted Balsamic Veggies

    Balsamic vinegar is my jam.  I eat it on a lot of things.  I’m weird like that.  Salad. Chicken. Rice. Quinoa. Steak. Tilapia (see, weird).  So I had to do it on veggies.  Ok. One word. Delish.  These turned out great and made a perfect side for tonight’s roasted turkey breast.  Ingredients:  2 large zucchini, quartered 2 sweet potatoes, peeled & diced 2 carrots, peeled & diced  2 green peppers, chopped  1 onion, roughly chopped  1/4 c balsamic vinegar 2 tbsp EVOO  1 tbsp chopped rosemary  Sea salt & black pepper  Directions:  Chop all veggies.  Mix vinegar, oil, and spices together.  Toss together in a large bowl.   Bake at…
