For a deeper flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic during the last few minutes of sautéing. A balsamic glaze drizzle at the end can add a touch of tangy sweetness. These caramelized vegetables are delicious served with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a topping for bruschetta. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
