Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beets thoroughly, leaving the skins on. Trim off the greens, leaving about 1 inch of the stems attached.
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until a fork easily pierces through them.
While the beets are roasting, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the honey, red wine vinegar, orange zest, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the beets are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool until they are safe to handle.
Peel the beets by rubbing off the skins with a paper towel or your hands (wear gloves to prevent staining). Slice the beets into wedges or rounds.
Place the sliced beets in a serving dish and pour the glaze over them. Toss gently to coat the beets evenly in the glaze.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish. Enjoy!
