Balsamic Glaze Ingredients

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar (for sweetness)
• A pinch of salt and pepper (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey or brown sugar.
2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
3. Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently until it thickens and reduces by about half, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly; it will thicken more as it cools.

As for an earthy-flavored sauce, that would definitely work great with your roasted root vegetables! Here’s a suggestion for an earthy sauce:

Earthy Mushroom and Thyme Sauce:

• 1 cup of sliced mushrooms (any kind you enjoy)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Optional: 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth for a richer sauce

This mushroom sauce will bring a deep, earthy flavor that complements those sweet root vegetables quite nicely!
