Serve a California Grape Roasted Vegetable Medley

Bring color and seasonal flavor to your holiday table with a California grape roasted vegetable medley. Roasting grapes brings out their sweetness, making them a delicious complement to savory fall vegetables.

Toss California grapes with Brussels sprouts, acorn squash and carrots, along with olive oil and your favorite seasonings. Spread on a large baking sheet and roast at 400°F for approximately 45 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender.

Grapes also provide naturally occurring plant compounds, including resveratrol and flavonoids, which have been studied for their potential health benefits.
