Holiday Roasted Vegetables
Amidst all of the Thanksgiving casseroles we usually end up craving some simple, no-fuss roasted vegetables. And this colorful medley is definitely worthy of a spot on your Thanksgiving plate. The dried cranberries and balsamic vinegar add some sweetness and tartness while the pecans add an extra crunch. We use Brussels sprouts and carrots, but feel free to add extra vegetables or swap in some of your favorites.
The red and green hues of this dish make it a festive side for your holiday spread, but it can go on your table any time of year. Is there ever a bad time for delicious veggies?
If you're low on oven space, you can use your air fryer instead! The counter appliance is essentially a mini convection oven and results in extra-crispiness. We have directions for both methods in the recipe below.
