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.

These were really really good! The balsamic vinegar really adds a different flavor to this that goes so well with the vegetables. I cut my pieces smaller - I used small red potatoes and quartered them, and regular carrots that I cut into 1/2 inch slices before halving them. I still cooked them for the stated time, and it seemed like it needed it in order to be tender. I also threw in a few cauliflower florets, and used olive oil instead of butter. Thank you for sharing this.

Great flavor and makes an attractive presentation. Only change I made was to use olive oil rather than butter.

I made this recipe this past weekend with only one pound of baby carrots yet kept the liquids and seasonings unchanged (except for the salt - I reduced that down to a quarter of a teaspoon). I also reduced the temperature to 375 degrees and increased the cooking time to a total of 2 hours. Oh, and I added pignoli nuts just for a bit of contrast. All I can say is I went out today and paid way too much money for another pound of organic baby carrots so I can make the recipe again this coming weekend. To say this is extraordinary would be a huge understatement. Thank you, so much, for posting this!!!!! eileen

This recipe is a huge hit at our house! It is definitely best with fresh thyme and quality balsamic, but was still good even when I didn't have premium ingredients on hand. I have served it for company several times and everyone raves about how great it is.

this is wonderful. i usually throw these ingredients in the pan when i make a roast or a meat loaf, but the balsamic makes this dish! the sweetness of the vegetables and the balsamic just blend together so nicely.

This is definitely a 5 star!! The flavors are so good, and unusual. I didn't change a thing, but roasted it in an aluminum roasting pan that is disposable. The potatoes had such a pretty golden brown color, and the onions were carmelized. Yum-m-m We love balsamic vinegar so this was a hit at our house. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

i was a bit disappointed with these as i found that by the end of the cooking time, the baby carrots had pretty much shriveled, charred and lost much of their texture in relation to the potatoes. if i make this again, i will add in the carrots midway through and go easier on the balsamic vinegar as i would have preferred the taste to have been a bit more muted.
