A bit of heat perks up these earthy vegetables in such a great way (and livens up those rich holiday meals, too).
I make roasted vegetables all year long, especially when it’s cold out. And while I never really get tired of them, per se, I do feel the need to keep doing things a little bit differently, so that I won’t get tired of them.
And truly, it doesn’t take more than a few extra ingredients, in this case 4 to move the needle on the flavor. These happen to be 4 ingredients I can’t imagine not having on hand – butter, Sriracha (or other hot sauce), lemons (limes or oranges would also be good), and honey.
I’ve used this glaze now on roasted brussels sprouts, all by their lonesome, and also on roasted chunks of radicchio. I plan to use it on all sorts of roasted vegetables, on their own and in different combos.
I also have a feeling it would be excellent brushed onto a roasted pork loin just as it comes out of the oven. I’m also wondering if some simply cooked orzo and rice would be nice tossed with a few tablespoons of the mixture. I’m thinking yes.
Roasted Winter Vegetables Sriracha Honey Glaze are an easy and satisfying cold-weather side dish with a hint of sweetness and heat.
Ingredients
For the Roasted Vegetables
You can feel free to change up the vegetables as you like, just make sure they are all similarly dense so they cook to perfection at the same time.

How to Make Roasted Winter Vegetables with Sriracha Honey Glaze
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Prepare the vegetables for roasting. Place all of the vegetables on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle over the olive oil, sprinkle over the thyme and toss. Spread the vegetables out on the baking sheet so they are in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the vegetables. Roast about 40 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly browned in spots and tender.
