📖 Instructions
Cut the veggies into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. Rub the chickpeas between layers of paper towel or a dish towel to dry.
Place the veggies and chickpeas on two separate baking sheets in a single layer so they get crispy in the oven.
Toss the chickpeas with olive oil for roasting.
Place the veggies on the middle rack, and the chickpeas on the upper rack, for the first 15 minutes of roasting.
Meanwhile, make the balsamic-maple glaze.
Place the veggies and chickpeas back in the oven, with the veggies on the upper rack, and the chickpeas on the rack below.
Roast for about 10 minutes more, or until the potatoes are just fork tender. Add salt to taste.
Health tip: The firmer your roast potatoes, the less impact they have on blood sugar levels.
🥦 Substitutions
- Veggies - most firm veggies will work, such as sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, and beets
- Chickpeas - instead of chickpeas, use pressed tofu cut into 1-inch cubes (omit the oil and toss in cornstarch for roasting)
- Coconut aminos - use tamari instead if you don't have any (adjust maple syrup accordingly)
- Herbs - use fresh herbs instead of dried (use larger quantities)
🌶 Variations
- Spicy - add sriracha to the balsamic-maple glaze for a kick
- Deluxe - Drizzle with a creamy dressing for serving
See this creamy Lemon Tahini Dressing on my website!
⏱ Storage

Ingredients
- ¾ pound baby potatoes halved (about 5 baby potatoes)
- ¾ pound Brussels sprouts trimmed, and halved (about 4 cups whole)
- 3 large carrots cut into 1 ½-inch-coins
- Drizzle of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried herbs 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon oregano
- 30 ounces chickpeas (2 15-ounce cans) drained and rinsed
For the Balsamic-Maple Glaze:
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 large garlic clove
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Prepare the veggies: Place the potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and carrots into a large casserole dish in a single layer and drizzle with olive oil to coat. Add the dried herbs and use your hands to rub the veggies until evenly coated.
- Prepare the chickpeas: Rub the chickpeas between two layers of paper towel or a dish towel to dry. Place the chickpeas onto a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to evenly coat.
- Roast the veggies & chickpeas: Place the chickpeas in the oven on the top rack, and the vegetables on the middle rack. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Make the glaze: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos, and maple syrup. Use a microplane or fine grater and grate the garlic into the bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add the glaze: Add about two thirds of the glaze mixture to the vegetables, and the remaining one third to the chickpeas and mix until evenly distributed. Place the chickpeas on the middle rack, and the veggies on the upper rack. Roast for about 10 minutes more, or until the chickpeas are crispy, and the potatoes are just fork tender. Season with salt.
Notes

Made this over white rice and with tofu. It was absolutely delicious! Kids LOVED it too! Baked in pyrex.

So glad it was a hit with the whole family!

I made this recipe and it was delicious! However, the balsamic glaze stuck onto my baking trays in a way that was near impossible to clean. I've since made it in pyrex baking dishes and while it is easier to clean i miss the roasted crisp from the flat trays.
Nisha Melvani
I use pyrex sometimes as well as silicone mats. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi
I am use to how many cups, I do not want to go and buy a weigh scale.
Looks yummy anyways, oh what is coconut aminos?
Thanks
Barb
Nisha Melvani
About 3 cups whole Brussels, about 5 baby potatoes. Coconut aminos is is a dark-colored sauce that tastes similar to soy sauce. It comes from the sap of the coconut plant — not coconuts.
