    Great side dish full of flavor and colors. I had the same problem with burnt, shriveled onions even though I cut them thicker, like one poster recommended. Maybe adding them later in the baking process would alleviate this. The balsamic vinegar and thyme really added to the flavor. Thanks CountryLady!

    Very tasty but the carrots and onions burnt. The potatoes were great though, I'll definately make this again!

    This was an excellent side dish for pan-fried steaks. Next time I will cut the onions thicker; thin-sliced onions seemed to cook to almost nothing. Really enjoyed the flavors, especially balsamic vinegar!

    I loved this dish. Make sure to let the potatoes cook long enough to soften. If you're in a hurry...micro the potatoes for 7-8 mins. Cuts the cooking time in half. Will make this again and again.
