Ingredients
- 1 pound golden beets
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450° Fahrenheit.
- Scrub beets to remove any dirt, then pat dry.
- Put each beet on a sheet of aluminum foil, then drizzle with ½ tablespoon olive oil and ½ tablespoon white balsamic vinegar. Fold up the foil around them. (You can put more than one beet on a sheet of foil if they are small.)
- Bake for 45 minutes, then use a skewer to test whether they are tender. Depending on the size of the beets, this may take up to an hour.
- When beets are tender, remove from oven, and let cool slightly.
- Peel with a knife or sharp peeler.
- Slice beets in circles, half-circles, or chunks (whichever you prefer).
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Notes
Storage Tips:
Roasted golden beets can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Expert Tips:
Want more flavor? Try adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme into the foil package with the beets. You could also add in a garlic clove that will soften as the beet roasts. When the beets are done, make a balsamic dressing using the white balsamic vinegar and olive oil and drizzle over the beets. Wondering why you should roast golden beets whole? Though they take longer than roasting pre-peeled and chopped beets, you will get a much more tender beet when you roast one whole.
