Ingredients

• 4 medium Beets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.25 cup Bleu cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the beets, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the beet cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned beets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

Step 5

Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

While the beets are roasting, prepare the balsamic reduction. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey.

Step 7

Bring the vinegar mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and let it reduce until it thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

Once the beets are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 9

Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the beets and sprinkle them with bleu cheese crumbles.

Step 10

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and a pop of color.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
