Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, honey, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Place your prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the vegetables. Toss or seal the bag to ensure all pieces are coated evenly. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all those amazing flavors.
