A couple of us at our clinic have made this and modified it a bit. One of our team members is vegan, so she omitted the bacon and added a bit of coconut oil instead. She also drizzled balsamic glaze when it came out of the oven (you can get it at Trader Joes). Another team member added a mixture of honey and balsamic, in addition to the bacon fat to the raw veg before roasting, which gave the veggies a nice caramelization.

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 large sprig fresh rosemary leaves removed and chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions
