Honey Roasted Beets

We had a fruitful garden harvest this year with the most beautiful red beets. When I was a kid, I was convinced that beets tasted like mud. As an adult, I realize that when prepared the right way, beets  are the most delicious salad topper, side dish, or meal.

I love honey-roasted beets -  honey brings out the sweetness of the beets, offering the perfect addition to your next meal. Chockfull of fiber, vitamins A, B, and C, and and array of minerals, grill them or bake them, and you've got one delicious treat waiting to be devoured. Most importantly, if you thought you didn't like beets, try-try them again. This recipe is foolproof!

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

1 bunch beets, cleaned, trimmed, and peeled

1-2 Tablespoons olive oil

1-2 Tablespoons honey

Sea salt & pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 ºF. Layer 4 sheets of foil on top of each other. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.

2. Cut beets into 1-inch pieces. Place beets on prepared foil.

3. Drizzle beets with olive oil and honey. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

4. Wrap foil around beets to create a foil packet. Place foil packet on a baking sheet.

5. Roast beets for 30-35 minutes, or until soft when inserted with a fork.  Enjoy!
