Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim off the tops and roots, then peel the beets if desired.
Cut the beets into bite-sized wedges or cubes for even roasting.
Place the beet pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Drizzle the olive oil over the beets and toss them to ensure they are evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and about half of the black pepper.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the beets from the oven and transfer them to a mixing bowl while they are still warm.
Drizzle the honey over the roasted beets and sprinkle with the remaining black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish, or allow to cool and enjoy as part of a salad or snack.
