Top with the fresh basil and place into the oven for 25-30 minutes.

While the vegetables are roasting, toast the walnuts in a small skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.

Toasted Walnuts

Remove the vegetables from the oven.

Add the roasted vegetables to a large mixing bowl.

My recommendation: grab the sides of the parchment paper or foil (like this ↓) and simply slide it into the bowl so you make sure to get all the roasted vegetables and the delicious balsamic juices into the bowl.
