Balsamic Roasted Beets

Adapted from Joy Food Sunshine

Ingredients
3 beets peeled & diced (about 3 cups)*
1 Tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon honey (pure maple syrup for a vegan version)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a large baking sheet or dish, set aside.
  2. Peel and cut 3 beets into ½” cubes. Toss beets with 1 Tablespoon olive oil and ½ tsp sea salt. Spread onto a greased baking sheet in an even layer.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the beets are soft to the touch, stirring once halfway through.
  4. While the beets are roasting, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small bowl.
  5. After 30 minutes (or when beets are soft to the touch), remove the beets from the oven and drizzle the honey/vinegar mixture over the beets on the baking sheet. Stir until all the beets are evenly coated. Return to the oven for 10 minutes ( until the balsamic/honey mixture coats the beets), stirring once half way through.
  6. Remove from the oven and serve warm or store and serve later over your favorite salads.
