Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 sweet potatoes (about 1 pound total), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 2 red onions, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 parsnips (about 6 ounces total), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 bell peppers (red, orange or yellow, or a combination)
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 8 ounces Roth Buttermilk Blue® cheese
- Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Method
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Place rack in upper third of oven, and place another rack in lower third.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, and thyme. Divide the vegetables evenly between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle olive oil mixture over vegetables. Toss using your hands so vegetables are evenly coated. You can use a spoon, but hands are faster and more effective. Arrange vegetables in a single layer, then season with salt and pepper.
- Roast 40 to 50 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned in spots. Rotate and switch pan positions halfway through cooking.
- Meanwhile, slice Buttermilk Blue® cheese. Break each slice into a few large flat pieces (this will happen partly on its own).
- Remove vegetables from oven, leaving the oven on. Distribute Blue cheese over hot vegetables. Return pans to the oven for 3 to 6 minutes to soften and slightly melt the cheese.
- Transfer vegetables to a large serving platter. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with rosemary or thyme sprigs, if desired.
