    To roast vegetables without oil is possible and they taste amazing. I used balsamic vinegar, but soy sauce, tamari and lemon or lime juice also work. If you're on a diet or just trying to avoid oils, these oil free rainbow roasted vegetables are for you.

    I try to eat as many different fruits and veggies as I can, I adore them and they nourish my body. I love these colorful rainbow veggies, they're full of antioxidants and nutrients, but there's no need to use so many vegetables, it's totally up to you.

    When I tried this recipe for the first time, I couldn't believe it was oil-free, the veggies were so juicy and I only added the balsamic vinegar and dried thyme, but please feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices.

    This recipe is ridiculously easy to make, you just have to place the chopped vegetables onto a baking sheet, add dried thyme and balsamic vinegar to taste and bake for about 25 minutes or until they're cooked. Besides, it's the perfect side dish! I love to eat these veggies with brown rice and some tamari or soy sauce, but they're also delicious with potatoes, pasta or quinoa.

      Greetings! I made this recipe today adding asparagus and sweet potatoes. It turned out great and we had it over brown rice. I misted with water to keep from drying out. Next time I'll leave out the sweet potatoes - too dry. Thanks!

      About ow much balsamic would you use? I'm not sure if I used too much. Also would you rinse the vegetables first? Thanks!

      Do you have to use a liquid? I’m wondering how they will turn out with no liquid! Thanks!

        Hi Marc! I think you could make this recipe with no liquid, but it would probably be too dry...

      I haven't made this recipe, although it looks delicious. I respect the right of vegans to avoid meat, but I found the comments made to Antoinette offensive and I won't come back to this website. For general info, some of us chose to eat meat, and still avoid fats or choose healthier options in other areas of cooking. Please respect our choices as we respect yours. Frankly, Iosune, if you had not thanked the people who made unkind comments, I would have returned to your site. Because you thanked them for their negative comments I won't be back.

        Hi Eleanor! I'm so sorry you're not going to visit our site again. I DO respect everybody, vegans, and non-vegans, that's why I thank everybody for their comments, they also can give their opinion and I think they weren't disrespectful. Have a nice day!
