This recipe works well with asparagus, beets, or radishes. Simply adjust your roasting time to suit your vegetable of choice.

2 Tablespoons Fustini's Frantoio Select Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-
1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried)
-
1-2 Tablespoons Fustini's West Michigan Blueberry Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
-
2 Tablespoons chopped pistachios (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Recipe Note
Running short on thyme? Other woody herbs, such as rosemary, sage, oregano, or winter savory, work well here too!

Just made with asparagus, portobello mushrooms & carrots and I couldn’t be happier! I don’t take pics of my food, but today I sent a photo in my sister group chat because it turned out soooo amazing! (only recommendation is that I increased the roasting time to 40 minutes)
Don’t peel the carrots—you will remove a sizable portion of their nutritive value.
