Tips & Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, while new potatoes are ideal for their creamy texture, you can use fingerling or Yukon Gold potatoes as alternatives. Just adjust the cooking time as larger potatoes may require longer roasting.
Is this recipe suitable for a vegan diet?
Absolutely! This recipe is entirely plant-based and fits well within vegan recipes. The olive oil and vegetables create a flavorful dish without any animal products.
What can I do if I don't have balsamic vinegar?
If balsamic vinegar is unavailable, you can use red wine vinegar mixed with a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness. This will mimic the tangy-sweet profile of balsamic vinegar while still delivering delicious results.
