Description
A delicious and vibrant side dish featuring roasted beets drizzled with a honey balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium fresh beets (about 1 lb)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse the fresh beets under cold water, trim tops and tails, then wrap each beet in aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped beets on the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and honey; stir continuously until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Let cool.
- Once the beets are done roasting, unwrap and peel off the skins using paper towels or your hands.
- Slice the peeled beets into wedges or rounds, arrange on a platter, and drizzle with the balsamic honey glaze before serving.
Notes
- Using a smaller roasting pan can help retain steam and promote even cooking.
- The beets can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge before serving.
