Nice side dish
These Veggies in Apricot and Thyme Sauce would make a great side dish for Thanksgiving dinner: earthy and rich while being filled with veggie goodness.
The pretty colors of the baked veggies are just remarkable.
The sauce itself is full of flavor and complexity: sweet apricots, earthy thyme, full flavored balsamic vinegar, luscious sticky honey, and garlic.
And, it smells awesome while it bakes.
Serving suggestion
I served this for dinner the other day with a nice peppercorn rubbed barramundi. Simple. Nice. Basic. Tasty!
It would also be wonderful with a salt and pepper seared tofu steak.
Make it a meal by serving these veggies with Smokehouse Style Slow Cooker Beef and Some Air Fryer Green Beans.
Enjoy!

I’m always looking for good side dishes. I’m usually so boring and just stick a bag of frozen veggies in the microwave. This is gorgeous! I’d be thrilled if you’d link this recipe up at Tastetastic Thursdays!
