2 | large beets, trimmed and peeled (about 1.8 lb/0.8 kg) |
2 tbsp | olive oil |
1/8 tsp | sea salt |
2 tbsp | balsamic vinegar |
2 tbsp | honey |
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice peeled and washed beets in half lengthwise; cut into ¼-inch slices. Place beets in a large mixing bowl; toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and sea salt. Arrange beets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in the oven the bake until beets are firm, but can easily be pierced with a fork, about 45-55 minutes.
Meanwhile in small saucepan whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat.
When beets are cooked, remove from oven and arrange on a serving dish; drizzle with honey balsamic glaze. Serve warm.
