Rosemary & Balsamic Roasted Veggies – Westernliving Style!
I know some of you saw my photo share over the Thanksgiving weekend, but I got so much feedback on it, I thought it was in order to share the recipe too! Thanks to Pinterest for the inspiration, and to Westernliving for the recipe!!
Rosemary Roasted Apples, Beets & Butternut Squash
Ingredients:
- 6 large beets – precooked, peeled and quartered
- 3 crisp, tart apples – unpeeled, seeded and halved
- 1-1/2 cups butternut squash or sweet potato squash, peeled and cut into smaller cubes
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 or 3 fresh rosemary sprigs
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Mixing and Baking:
- Preheat the oven to 400F
- Combine all ingredients and toss well to coat with oil and balsamic
- Spray large baking dish with cooking oil and fill with veggie mix
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until apples are soft but still hold their shape
- Remove from oven
- Strip rosemary leaves from branch, mince and sprinkle over veggies prior to serving
Enjoy!
I was really surprised this recipe didn’t call for any garlic or a deliberate dose of course salt, but when all was said and done I have to say, it really didn’t need either. The balsamic worked its magic, and the veggies were delicious. I would make this again in a heartbeat!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy roasting!! 😉

How wonderful does that look! I will be trying it soon… Perfect for this Fall weather we are having!
I hope you enjoy! We were truly amazing at how yummy this was, and it was even better as leftovers!!
Oh Sheila, perfect timing on that recipe! My hubby gave me the hint that I haven’t cooked beets in a long time (I didn’t remind him that I’ve NEVER cooked beets…) so maybe I should give your recipe a try – looks like it would be perfect for a Sunday nights supper!
Oh my, you made me laugh! How long is a long time, huh? 😉 This really is tasty dish, easy to make, and great for a second day, too!
Ha! I saw your post on Instagram and made the exact same recipe for Thanksgiving dinner. So delicious – and it got rave reviews from the family!
That’s so much fun!! I was just wanting to give our Thanksgiving a bit of a twist – mix up the traditional and expected dishes with something colourful and new, but I had no idea how refreshing this change would be!!
Mmmm! Love the addition of the beets! I should definitely give this a go; only 5 degrees in Waterloo today, so a perfect night for some warm comfort food
We eat a lot of beets and squash at this time of the year, so it was nice to have a new way to enjoy them – if you give this dish a try, I hope you enjoy it too!!
Mmmmmmm I can smell it from here and my mouth is seriously watering! Great colourful pic too!
Awe – wish you were close enough to pop in for a bite!!!
This is perfect! I have a garden with nothing left in it except a bazillion beets! 🙂
Beets and butternut squash are my favorites! Pinning!
Wow. That looks good. Come cook for me?
That looks so delish! Pinning…
Oh yummy – that looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing! Pinned! 😀 Heather
I tend to have my “go-to” veggies and I always cook/prepare them the same way. I really need to branch out and expand my veggie horizons, and this looks like a good recipe to try 🙂 Thanks for sharing 🙂
Omigosh Sheila! Why didn’t I see this BEFORE I went grocery shopping! I so want to make this recipe. Thanks for sharing it!
Look like a great combo of veggies! I love me some beets.
