Made this recipe for Easter dinner. It was nice but needed more flavor. I would add fresh herbs like thyme and parsley next time.
Roasted Baby Spring Vegetables
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Use white balsamic vinegar to maintain the vegetables' vibrant hue. Look for baby carrots with tops, which have tender texture and subtly sweet flavor. Small carrots packed and sold as "baby" carrots are actually whittled-down mature vegetables.
