Christmas Eve For 2

Shirl (J) 831

Grilled Balsamic Vegetables

Recipe #93636 | 50 min | 20 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Kree

This grilled dish, made with sweet potatoes and zucchini, gets its wonderful flavor from balsamic vinegar. It's easy to cook because you just pop it all into a foil packet. The amounts of vegetables can easily be increased for more people, since it has plenty of juice. I also enjoy making this with regular potatoes! This was created for RSC #6.

    This is good, but leave out the zucchini. It gets way over done and doesn't look great. Instead use red peppers, they stay much firmer and add a nice color.

    Just what I was looking for! Made this the first night without the sweet potoates since I didn't have any and it turned out delicious. I am anxious to try it with them now!

    Very tasty. The balsamic vinegar really is the star ingredient in this - it permeates throughout the entire dish. The bag made the veggies a bit soggier than I would like and the colors of the veggies were a bit washed out, making the final product less visually appealing. I'd prefer baking this without a bag next time. However, the flavor was really quite good and the veggies were tender. I think you could easily play around with the types of veggies - I'd like to try this next time with some fennel and whole garlic cloves added to the mix.

    Discovered this recipe a few weeks ago and have been making it weekly since. DH finished off the leftovers I had been saving for after a late night at work and I almost cried! (seriously!!)Love the combination of veggies. I also add red pepper rings, and slice the sweet pot VERY thin and the zuchini a little thicker on a bias, and it turns out perfectly every time! Have also used dried sage (1/2 T)mixed in with the sauce in place of fresh and that worked fine too.The colors do get a little washed out but who cares-it tastes GREAT!! Absolutely Love this very easy tasty healthy dish!!
