Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Beets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 cup Bleu cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the beets, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the beet cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned beets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the beets are roasting, prepare the balsamic reduction. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey.
Bring the vinegar mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and let it reduce until it thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the beets are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish.
Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the beets and sprinkle them with bleu cheese crumbles.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and a pop of color.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
