Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim off the greens and root ends but do not peel the beets.
Wrap each beet tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the beets for 40-50 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. Larger beets may require additional time.
While the beets are baking, prepare the honey ginger glaze. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, honey, freshly grated ginger, salt, and black pepper.
Once the beets have finished cooking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly, until they are cool enough to handle.
Carefully peel the skins off the beets. The skins should slip off easily; use a paper towel to help if necessary.
Slice the peeled beets into wedges or rounds, as desired.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the beet slices with the honey ginger glaze until evenly coated.
Return the glazed beets to a clean baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for an additional 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to caramelize the glaze, stirring halfway through.
Remove the beets from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
