Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beets, then wrap each in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the beets are roasting, peel and dice the fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, grated fresh ginger, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing. Set aside.
Once the beets are cooked, allow them to cool slightly before peeling off the skins. Cut the beets into wedges or cubes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced pineapple and cook for about 2-3 minutes until lightly caramelized.
Add the cooked beets to the skillet with the pineapple and drizzle the prepared dressing over the top. Stir gently to combine and warm through for another 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the warm beets and pineapple to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
