Ingredients
  • 1 Red Bell pepper

Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).

    Remove stems from the portobello mushrooms and slice the caps into 1/4-inch thick strips.
  3. 3
    Core and seed the red, green, and yellow bell peppers, then cut them into bite-sized chunks similar in size to the mushroom slices.

  5. 5
    Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  6. 6
    Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the peppers are blistered and the mushrooms are tender.

    While vegetables roast, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  8. 8
    Remove the pan from the oven and immediately drizzle the soy-balsamic glaze over the hot vegetables.
  9. 9

For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.

You can add garlic cloves or cherry tomatoes to the baking sheet for extra flavor and color.

If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey (if not keeping vegan) to the balsamic mixture.
