Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces beets (medium-sized)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots, leaving about 1 inch of the stem attached.
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the beets.
While the beets are roasting, prepare the rosemary glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and rosemary sprigs. Stir occasionally and let the flavors infuse for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the beets are cooked, carefully unwrap them and let them cool slightly. Use a paper towel to gently rub off the skins.
Cut the peeled beets into wedges or slices and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Remove the rosemary sprigs from the prepared glaze and pour the glaze over the beets. Toss well to coat the beets evenly.
Transfer the glazed beets to a serving dish and garnish with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Roasted Beets with a Rosemary Glaze!
