Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups bell peppers, chopped
  2. 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  3. 1 cup broccoli florets
  4. 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  5. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  6. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  7. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help to caramelize the vegetables and enhance their flavors.
  2. Prepare your vegetables: chop the bell peppers into bite-sized pieces, slice the zucchini into half-moons, and separate the broccoli into small florets. Make sure to wash all the vegetables thoroughly before cutting.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped bell peppers, sliced zucchini, and broccoli florets. Toss them together to ensure an even distribution.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil until well combined. This mixture will serve as the marinade for your vegetables.
  5. Pour the teriyaki balsamic mixture over the chopped vegetables in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
  6. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. Be generous with the seasoning, as it will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
  7. Spread the marinated vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this can lead to steaming rather than roasting.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, stir the vegetables to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice caramelization.
  9. Check the vegetables for doneness after 25 minutes. They should be tender and slightly charred. If they need more time, continue roasting for an additional 5 minutes, checking frequently.
  10. Once the vegetables are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will allow the flavors to settle.
  11. Serve the roasted veggies warm as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal. Enjoy your flavorful AJ Roasted Veggies with Teriyaki Balsamic!
