Bodaciously Roasted Vegetables

roasted vegetables

In the winter, nothing makes me feel like I’m doing my body a great service than eating a plate of roasted vegetables.  What I love about roasting them is that there are countless flavor possibilities that’s only limited by your imagination. One faithful customer uses our Dark Chocolate Balsamic on her roasted vegetables and her family can’t get enough of them. Thanks for that tidbit, Adrianna! Lately, I’ve been on a citrus kick, craving that bright, fresh zing that reminds you of sunshine. I suppose I’m longing for the sun and warding off germ bugs all at once. For this recipe, I chose to use our Milanese Gremolata olive oil which combines fresh lemon zest, minced garlic, Italian flat leaf parsley and a hint of mint into a brightly flavored ultra premium olive oil.  Often, I will finish my veggies off with a splash of our Lemon Balsamic. Eat these veggies fresh out of the oven, as a snack, on a panini, or pureed as a soup!

Arugula Pesto

The color of the pesto is everything you would expect, but one bite will tell you that you’re not dealing with the usual pesto suspect, basil. It’s winter here in the Northern Hemisphere. If you do have access to basil, chances are it’s being grown in some warmer clime and then trucked or flown hundreds of miles to your local grocery store.
