Want to make vegetables more appealing? Try serving these honey glazed vegetables as a side dish. It's a mouthwatering dish that is sweet, savory, and slightly bitter. Each bite is a delightful play on textures. We've tried this with broccoli alone and using an assortment of vegetables. Both ways were delicious.
