Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized fresh beets
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Rinse and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Do not peel them, as the skins will easily slide off after cooking.
2. Place the whole beets in a large saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the beets for 30–40 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
4. Remove the beets from the water and allow them to cool just enough to handle. Using a paper towel, rub the skins off gently; they should come off easily. Trim the tops and roots, if needed.
5. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the brown sugar, honey, salt, black pepper, and water, stirring until combined and bubbly.
6. Add the cooked whole beets to the skillet and stir to coat them in the glaze. Let the beets cook in the glaze for 5–7 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the glazed beets to a serving dish and spoon any extra glaze from the pan over the top.
8. Garnish the beets with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
