Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly. Trim off the tops and roots, but leave the skins on.
Place the beets on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the beets tightly in the foil to form a packet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skins off using your hands or a paper towel.
Cut the peeled beets into wedges or slices and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, orange zest, Grand Marnier, and honey to the skillet. Stir well to combine, allowing the mixture to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Add the beet wedges to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beets are warmed through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Transfer the glazed beets to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy your sophisticated Grand Marnier Beets!
