Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beets
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beets, leaving a small amount of the stems attached to prevent bleeding.
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until fork-tender.
While the beets are roasting, peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, grated ginger, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Once the beets are done, allow them to cool slightly before peeling. The skins should slip off easily when rubbed with a paper towel.
Cut the peeled beets into wedges or bite-sized chunks.
Pour the ginger dressing over the warm beets and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish and serve warm or at room temperature.
