Balsamic Roasted Vegetables
Another month has passed and it’s time for another round of The Secret Recipe Club. I’m taking a break from posting pink food for just one day to bring you this awesome fall vegetable dish. For those of you who don’t know about Secret Recipe Club, you sign up to participate, then are assigned another blog. Then, everyone posts on the same day revealing the blog they were assigned.
This month, my blog assignment was A Vegan Obsession. I have to admit that I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to find anything I would want to make… But sure enough, as I started reading through the recipes, I was starring quite a few of them.
I chose this Balsamic Roasted Vegetable dish because I had quite a few veggies laying around from our last CSA box. I love how customizable this recipe could be. You can literally use almost any vegetables that you have on hand. All of the veggies that I used were from our CSA.
Hubby and I devoured these vegetables. We absolutely loved them and have made them a couple times this month already.

Ooh, that sounds great!
That sounds pretty incredible! Love your 5 day idea 🙂
That looks delicious! I wish I could convince my husband to eat squash. 🙁
LOVE this! Lentils are DELICIOUS and sooo good for you! This looks perfect!
Such a delicious filling salad! You pretty much had me at goat cheese…my favorite!
I made the Bon Appetit version last year with pumpkin. It was soo good. I actually had thought it would be good with butternut squash too. Great salad!
I’ve been eyeing that recipe since the original in BA and again since SK posted it. Where do you get your uncooked black lentils?
Cara – I used the Goya brand lentils from my grocery store. They were greenish brown.
This looks awesome…I have some lentils I have been wanting to use, so this will be perfect!
i made this too and it was AWESOME 🙂
I love the combination of hearty lentils, sweet and spicy butternut squash and tangy goat cheese. I can imagine every flavor in this!
